...vagabond. Before me rise three hills all at an equal distance. Which shall I ascend? In other words, shall. I at 11 o'clock go to Sever 35 to hear Dr. Maynadier in English 29 speak on George Meredith; shall I turn my steps to the Fogg Museum to listen to Mr. Leonard Opdyche in Fine Arts 1d on Correggio and the early Venetian school, which of all schools of Italian painting I am most partial to, or shall I hear Professor Haskins in History 8 speak at Harvard 3 of St. Louis the heroic crusading ruler of mediaeval France...

Mr. Cosgrove, who has just returned to Cambridge, has spent the last two years in charge of the Peabody Museum expedition in the Mimbres Valley in south-western New Mexico...
...fail to be present in the Germanic Museum at 11 o'clock this morning, may my name be erased forever from the roster of the Ancient Order of Vagabondage. To miss a discussion of the novel would be unfortunate, but to miss such a discussion into which has been brought the exotic personality of James Joyce would be unthinkable. Much can be said about the value of bread as food, but a vagabond above all can not live by bread alone. So let none try to stop me from hearing Professor Lowes speak on the novel and psychological metamorphoses...
