Some years ago a man from Harvard went abroad. His spirit rebelled unceasingly against the confusion of the world and the chaos of the age. He lived with restlessness and moved from town to town until he came upon a citadel that was built upon a rock. There at last he found tranquility, and there he wrote St. Michael and Chartres.

What Henry Adams found in Chartres was not only in a building of surpassing beauty or a monument to a great faith built by loving hands, but, more than that, he found a spirit, a spirit, of unity, of precision, of order. These were beliefs that dominated the Middle Ages, and upon which a whole civilization was erected. It was a creed that men lived by, and for which men died.

Today at 12 o'clock in Emerson H. Professor Taylor will begin a series of six lectures upon the various aspects of Feudalism. Every Freshman knows, or will know, that where there is Feudalism there is unity. But the Vagabond would like to urge all men to increase and clarify that knowledge. The world now seems in ashes at our feet, and though a return to a civilization that flourished a thousand years ago is hardly a feasible antidote, it will be interesting to see what manner of men our ancestors were and in what fashion they were able to achieve a calm and order which appealed to one of the most able and sensitive minds of the nineteenth century.
