The Student Vagabond

After such a long period as undisputed head of his clan, the Student Vagabond was shocked to discover that a plot had been made to oust him from his position. Yesterday morning the blow fell when one of his own supporters bestowed the title of King of the Vagabonds upon a usurper whose only claim to distinction was his attendance at an examination in a course he was not taking, a vowedly from motives of curiosity. True, the loyal forces suppressed the traitor and his protege, but the Student Vagabond's security demands a public explanation.

Even if this pretender to his crown were possessed of the three years of experience that gives the Student Vagabond his store of wisdom, his plan of action defies the very fundamentals of the profession. Who ever heard of a true vagabond engaged in so unproductive an occupation as taking an examination? His mission is to receive; not to give, and the more he receives with a minimum of effort the more successful he is. What would his wanderings profit the Student Vagabond if he were to dispense such precious knowledge in so fruitless form as a bluebook? Perish the thought! And may the next infidel be confined in solitary imprisonment in Memorial Hall until he admits his error.

Such being his gainful if unblessed philosophy, the only gift the Student Vagabond can make is advice. For the next two days it includes recommendation of these lectures:
