To The Editors of the CRIMSON:
In the Harvard CRIMSON of Saturday, October 31, there appeared a piece entitled, "The Vagabond: The From of Travel," describing a certain young man's efforts to obtain a scholarship grant to several foreign universities. We are of the opinion that this poor student's French section man, M. Plombier, was not the ame sympathique" as thought, but has thoroughly ruined the student's chances of receiving a grant from the French government by grossly misquoting the opening lines of Paul Verlaine's poem, "II Pleure Dans Mon Coeur." They should read:
"II pleure dans mon Coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville." Humbly, Francophile.
P.S. There is still time for both to enroll in French 20.
