The Student Vagabond

The Vagabond began armed with the firm resolve to provide his gentle readers with an introduction to Professor Boring's lecture on Night Vision. It seemed proper to have a slight knowledge of the subject, something awe-in-spring even if superficial. So he set out, diligently to plumb Night Vision's mysteries. His searching hand paused before the shelf and drew down "The Science of General Psychology," by Wheeler, a good and solid book, of some six-hundred pages, fitted with two indices, charmingly adapted to the pose of earnest endeavor. But somehow, as his finger ran down the index, it wavered, passed "Vision, 379-398," and paused only be fore "Vitreous Humor, 382." Vitreous Humor turned out not at all funny, but Helen herself was never more seductive than the index to Wheeler's "Science of Psychology." The subtle poison permeated the Vagabond's veins, and he found himself choosing from the shelf "The Mentality of Apes." By degrees this enticed him to "Man and Woman," to "The Freudian Wish," and then to Ruth Shoule Cavan's "Suicide." No Vagabond could abandon that shelf without a glance at "The Aesthetic Attitude," but it seemed wisest to top the selection with a hearty passage from Professor Boring's own history of psychology; in this were thirty-seven indexed subjects under the head Vision, but never a glimpse of Night Vision. So the Vagabond gave up, feeling a bit wilted and dilettante, perhaps a little foolish; psychology, he decided, conceals pitfalls for the best-intentioned investigator.
