Vagabond King Makes Debut in Striking Exposure of Exam Mechanism--Passing Grade Rewards Three Hour Session

Although as announced beforehand the Vagabond himself kept strict hibernation throughout the reading period and the ensuing examinations, a disciple has arisen to confound the teacher. Not content with a mere passive exposure to lectures, this King of Vagabonds took the examination given in a course allied to his field though he was neither known to the instructor nor enrolled with the absentee members attending at the meetings of the course immediately before and after holidays last fall.

The astonishment of the reader of his blue book who might well have been baffled by this newest mutation in the evolution of the Vagabondia was somewhat mitigated by a letter brought to light upon further investigation. The Vagabond King explained his sportive joy in the filling of the blue book as follows:

"As this course borders somewhat upon my field of concentration I am taking today's exam merely out of the spirit of curiosity, and would you be so kind as to give me a grade?" Signed ( ).

University authorities declined last night to release the name of the course in which this unusual departure occurred for fear that the fact that the vagabond secured a satisfactory grade for his three hour participation might unduly swell the rolls next year. But shrouded in silence as the details of this outbreak of Romanticism must be, brightly shines the moral of the tale; even in the twentieth century a vagabond may be King for a day.
