THE STUDENT VAGABOND

I can take my choice at 10 o'clock this morning between two romanticists of almost equal appeal. Professor Murdock is talking in English 33 on Edgar Allen Poe in Harvard 2, while Wordsworth will be Professor Lowes' subject in subject in English 28 at the same time in Sever 11. Poe has had a strange fate since the war, his letters and his table talk and his random jottings have received immoderate attention. It will not be long before he will be recognized more widely as being one of our great romantics. And besides. Poe was once expelled from college. Professor Murdock will probably continue his discussion of Poe on Thursday.

Cut is the Russian nationalist whose turn it is today in Music 4d. Professor Hill's course in the Music Building at noon. The more one visits this course, the more profoundly impressed is one with the influence which Russian composers since Glinka have had. To hear about Cut, to be frank, will be at least novel. He is net to be found in this vagabond's musical acquaintance, nor in that of the meandering eneyclopedia which has wandered past a lot of great men without noticing them. Ethics is still engaging Professor Demes' attention in Philosophy 4d, one of my best stalwarts on such an academically uninspiring day as this. In Emerson H, at noon, it will be a treatment of ethics as mathematics, whatever that may be. I shall possibly go to find out.
