The Student Vagabond

During the next two days the Vagaband will spend but little time in his lofty eyrie, a thing much to his liking, for the ramparts, whereon the wild time grows, offer but little shelter from the fitful blasts and gusty rain squalls. The reason for his lengthy absence from Memorial is to be found in the many good lectures that are to be heard hereabouts in the next forty-eight hours. It may be said in passing that the Vagabond hopes to use the ensuing two weeks to great advantage before the reading period and the dreary vacation force him to lay his pen by until next September. He has never cared much for the summer school. There is not the air of intellectual luxury about the Yard that he finds so prevalent during the winter months. But the two days in question are more pleasant to contemplate.

The Vagabond will go to Emerson this morning at 9 to hear a lecture on Kant. He has always been interested in the man, although his knowledge has been limited to shy, experimental puns on the philosopher's name and a rather dim feeling that Fiechte, Schleiermacher and all the others the Vagabond has heard Babbitt talk about must have followed him.

After this the Vagabond will spend two days listening to lectures on imperialism, communism and naval warfare. With all this mundane fare he looks forward tremendously to Mr. Hersey at two o'clock on Tuesday. Mr. Hersey has always been one of his great admiration. Be it understood that the Vagabond is at heart a romantic. Modern life has always been a little above him with its Brattle Halls, its Packard roadsters, and its humanism. Mr. Hersey can bring to the Vagabond a touch of the world he once knew, a world of court levees, dashing Victorias, and humanities. And for this he follows after him. His old friend tomorrow is to speak on Paris in Emerson F. It is not a lecture on the Paris of today; the Cafe de la Paix, Auteuil and the Davis Cup, but on the Paris of Haussmann, Du Maurier and other indistinct and glorious figures. The Vagabond will go, therefore, and forget Divisionals, Finals, and vacation before the wonders of a house where Trilby once had lived, or a bridge where D'Artagnan once had fought.
