The Student Vagabond

At two o'clock today in Sever 11, Henry James Forman, novelist, short-story writer, and editor, will speak about his methods of writing. He will also tell some of his experiences with Bernard Shaw and other men of letters. The course is English 22 conducted by Professor Hersey. As in the case of Professor Hersey's talk on Thomas Hardy, the Vagabond looks forward to the occasion.

The Vagabond has broad interests and his wanderings bring him into many out of the way corners of the University. His latest excursion ended up in the Mineralogy lecture room in the depths of the Geology Museum where Professor Palache was lecturing on Diamonds. The subject was a fascinating one, but what aroused the interest of the Vagabond even more was the personality of Dr. Palache. Here was the scientist type at its best. A rather elderly bearded man whose enthusiasm for his subject was apparent in every phrase contrived to transmit his enthusiasm to the audience whose absorbed interest made them hang on every word. Incidentally, Professor Palache is one of the world's authorities on diamonds, and tomorrow's lecture on the occurrence of diamonds and diamond mines should be as interesting to the layman as to the mineralogist.
