The Vagabond, his dependable felt hat pulled dryly down over one ear, was making his quiet way across the Yard last evening, wondering why the Gods had not arranged a rotating weather schedule for the Fall. Cambridge puts on a cloak of the Mediaeval for rainy weather, especially on drenching evenings, and as the Vagabond trudged along, drawing himself bodily farther into the innermost warmth of his copious waterproof, he could not help exploring a trifle the grey depths of his youth. From faraway Massachusetts Avenue the groaning of a homebound orange street car was subdued by the nearer steady trickle of the penetrating downpour. From the obscurity on the right rose the indistinct shape of an old haunt of the Vagabond's, now glistening white, grey, and silver in the flickering glimmer of a neighborly lamp post.

At this point the wanderer paused a moment to muse on the passing of an old friend, a building missed by few, and now supplanted by a modern aedifice that never will quite be able to recapture the dim religious light of its antiquated predecessor. But this was no time to think longer of old Appleton Chapel. On stormy nights even the new landmark will pass out of sight in the greyness of the night, just as the older building used to do, until, in fact, its unobtrusiveness had wiped it away from the slate of remembrance of all but a few faithful supporters.

In the dull indistinctness of everything about him, the Vagabond fell into a muddle of thought of unsettled religious aims and clamorous politics. Then he thought of the history of the early seventeenth century. In a hazy and clouded storm of religious, political, and feudal quarrels, the Thirty Years' War was given to the history of man, and the cities of Munster and Osnabruck, separated by a few miles of cool night air similar to what the Vagabond now breathed provided conditions creative of the Treaty of Westphalia.

The Vagabond is interested in the history of this turbulent period in the development of Europe, and intends to learn more about it this morning from Professor Fay, who is to lecture in Harvard 1 at 11 o'clock.
