The Vagabond knows no laws, nor of time, nor of space, nor of men; from this arise most of the numerous peccadillos which, from time to time, stain his fair name and reputation. He is not alone in this, for there was once a distinguished gentleman, known to all and sundry . . . but that, as Kipling says, is another story. Not that he has no interest in the vague and changing things which men call laws: the music of the spheres, and the glamour of the dusty night-court alike bewitch him. But the laws that govern men are most enticing. Horoscopes, new as they may be to Harvard, perhaps explain as well why Thou art Thou, as do the addled Viennese hiero-phants. Be that as it may, the rise of the Corsican, the fall of the Hapsburgs, even the tale of a Freshman, all are food to the Vagabond.

For there once was a Freshman, and he was blessed among Harvard Freshmen. He was descended from a Rebel General of the Revolution; he placed three initials before his surname, and Roman numerals behind it; money was no real thing to him, for it came he knew not whence, and disappeared he cared not whither; of clothes he disdained all but London's best, which he wore brazenly, openly, with a jaunty nonchalance which befitted his caste. By virtue of these things his box was filled with bids, which he answered in person. By virtue of these things his classmates, descendants of the purest Puritans, or only sons of Midwestern farmers, his classmates who wore their shabbiest clothes as was the fashion, and who hated spending, which is vulgar, misunderstood him, then forgot him. So he devoted himself to the world of engraved bids, and at the end of the year received a polite note consigning him to that other world, from which there is no return--to Cambridge. The Freshman dropped from sight and mind, and of him nothing was heard except from the awful depths of the Times social page. But now (was the Vagabond meandering?) he is at Princeton.

Such is the Vagabond's interest in natural laws, and in Men, and he will be in Emerson F at twelve today, to hear Professor Whitehead tell what he alone knows of "The Laws of Nature."
