THE STUDENT VAGABOND

Humility is good for the soul and there are few things that so inspire it as the examination of our ancestors. Big oaks from little acorns grow, and any vagabond who is at all addicted to sporting with words, whether he considers himself a literary oak or not, can do much worse than to hear Professor Tozzer talk about the acorns of our language. At 9 o'clock this morning, he will lecture in the Semitic Museum in Anthropology I on the origin of writing and the beginnings of our alphabet.

One can jump from the acorns to a fairly sizeable oak tree at 10 o'clock, when Professor Hocking will introduce to Philosophy A in the New Lecture Hall the character of Bishop Berkeley, whom with the exception of Duns Scotis, Mr. Yeats considers to have been the only truly religious Irishman who ever lived. He was himself one of the great vagabonds of his century, largely because he hoped to make a fortune in the New World. If he had ever succeeded I probably would not be hearing about him this morning. Franz Liszt will follow at noon, in Music 3. Professor Hill will lecture about him in the Music Building, and it will be a pleasant subject to precede the gloom of a Monday luncheon, when one always worries about the obligations of the week.

The mighty Alexandrine line will be Mr. Hillyer's subject in English 16 this afternoon in Sever 5, a lecture I should like to hear. At 4.30 o'clock in Emerson N. Professor Jeanroy will give the last of his series of lectures on the medieval drama, his final subject being to my mind the best of all, "La Sotie of la Moralite."
