The Vagabond is no graduate-student blowing dust from books in Widener, but once in a while he wanders into the library. And recently in the stacks he became so interested in a subject he forgot that the building closed this year at six o'clock--at least until it was too late.

Unlike George Herbert Palmer who, locked in Appleton Chapel, attracted the attention of a yard cop from a high up circular window, the Vagabond settled down to enjoy himself. The arrangement of some of the books took his fancy. The Harvard University Publications, he found, were placed, appropriately enough, next to books on Games and Sports; while War Songs next to Individual and Individualistic Composers made him suspect that the world of music was not without its skirmishes. He discovered Manchuria defended only by Thibet, between China and Japan.

The Vagabond found that Philosophy, and Ethics in particular, led directly into the records of the British Parliament, and he was just patriotic enough to smile. On the other hand, the documents of the United States Government developed out of Anthropology; a fact which be thought might have pleased that Secretary of State who did so much to swell them, William Jennings Bryan. One of the most apt arrangements to his mind, however, was Religion, Bibles, and Explosives together.

On the fifth floor, the progression of subjects gave rise to some speculation. Beginning with Archaeology and the Classics, it continues by way of church History to Folk Lore, Legends and Superstition. What puzzled the Vagabond was which end was the top and which the bottom. While he was still wondering the man who washes the floors (for the charwomen are long since departed) came and liberated him.
