The Student Vagabond

Like everyone else the Vagabond has his moments when life is very much on the high road. For a man whose pleasures at this season are rather confined within academic bounds such attractions as today's lectures change the face of dull routine and, as they sometimes say of football, put more fun back into the game of vagabonding.

The list for today is going to keep the Vagabond pretty much on the jump despite his experience of often riding two horses at once.

At four-thirty he will be present in New Fogg Lecture Hall to pick up a little information on "Peasant Paintings of Japan" which Mr. Muneyshi Yanagi, Japanese critic and essayist, will discuss in connection with his position as Lecturer on Oriental Art.

Then at eight o'clock there is a toss up between the Symphony concert in Sanders Theatre and a lecture on "English Schools Old and New" by Mr. Stephen P. Cabot in Phillips Brooks House. The Vagabond admits a keen interest in the British schools which have produced so many centuries of leadership in all the branches of public and private life. So he is faced with a difficult choice between Bach and Schumann or Eton and Winchester.

In regard to the usual undergraduate lecture the Vagabond calls especial attention to Mr. Hersey's illustrated lecture on "The Scotland of Sir Walter Scott". Other lectures follow.
