While the Vagabond surveyed the tranquil skeletons of forthcoming buildings in the CRIMSON precinct from the gold, blue, and pink effulgence of Lowell House tower late last night he contemplated the work before him on the morrow. Too long, he mused, had he postponed the struggle with the broken pens, the clotted ink, the sartorial, laundry, and periodical soliciters which awaited him in his old haunts at Memorial Hall and its surrounding greensward.
