Tbe Student Vagabond

The Vagabond is truly sorry that his old favorite Edgar Allen Poe did not write after 1870, for although he has always enjoyed the author's short stories with a chill of horror, let it be said, nevertheless, that he would like to have some authority tell the story of Poe's death in a gutter. The Vagabond feels that, inasmuch as that is a very possible end for him, he would like to know that geniuses before him have met the same fate.

All of this, believe it or not, is leading up to the fact that Professor Murdock is giving a lecture on "The American Short Story since 1870" this morning at 10 o'clock in Harvard 1, at which the Vagabond expects to be present. For even if Poe is his favorite, he likes to wipe the cold sweat off his brow every now and then and enjoy the tales of O. Henry, Richard Harding Davis, and many others whom Professor Murdock will probably cover.
