THE STUDENT VAGABOND

At the risk of being considered an embryo architect with a blinded prejudice for his future professor, the Vagabond will go to the New Fogg Museum at 11 o'clock to hear Professor Edgell speak on "Georgian Architecture in England and American 'Colonial.'"

This lecture is of particular interest to Harvard students since the buildings at Harvard are mostly Colonial in plan. Vagabonds might well prepare for the lecture by making a pilgrimage to Appleton Chapel, which is an unique example of Georgia architecture.

Holden was given by an Englishwoman, and the plans were probably drawn in England, since the design antedates anything similar in America, and it is believed that no American architect could have conceived it at that early time. Unfortunately the building has been somewhat altered throughout its long and varied history, the windows have been lengthened, the entablature is missing on the sides, and the door at the west has been reduced from its original size. It remains, however, an unusually rare and beautiful example of the English Georgian.

University Hall, designed by Bulfinch., is another building that a vagabond could study to good profit, while Massachusetts, and all the older dormitories are examples of simple, severe Colonial architecture.

Another lecture this morning of timely importance will be given by Dr. Hornbeck in Harvard 5 at 9 o'clock. His subject, "China: The Second Period of Conflict and Second Set of Treaties, 1844-1860", will be a study of the origin of the questions that now vex the Orient, and will constitute an invaluable commentary on the present situation.
