This year Professor Coolidge has been giving a very advanced course in Geometry, so advanced that the ordinary undergraduate can hardly conceive it. At the beginning of the year there were only two students enrolled in it, and also a graduate student who was merely sitting in on the course, a veritable vagabond among vectors and vertices.

Later on in the term the two enrolled students dropped the course, but the lectures continued for the benefit of the vagabond. According to our latest intelligene the Mathematical Master of Lowell House has no idea that his sole student is merely sitting in on the course, and he is probably even now thinking up a devlish midyear for this dilettante, who will probably not be in Cambridge at the time. Someday, however, tiring of vectors and vertices, the sole student will probably come to class early and write plainly on the board for Professor Coolidge to see, "There will be no meeting in Mathematics 20b today."
