With the new Austro-German tariff pact so much to the forefront in the news of the world the Vagabond feels that he would do well to polish up a bit on the historical background of the present controversy. He can see in the unseemly haste which France has displayed in protesting the new agreement a recurrence of that dread of German power which she felt so acutely prior to 1914. Perhaps that dread was not unbased. The Vagabond proposes to hear Professor Artz discuss the last years of the heyday of German Imperialism this morning. The place is Harvard...
...find it worth the trouble, the Lampoon's flattery is a peculiarly perfect art in which subtlety is omitted. Unless the Inklings editor uses Skrip ink, the stains he has gotten on his ibis feet are not the kind that wash out easily. We do not defend the Vagabond or know whether or not he strays into the Radcliffe yard in search of romance, but if romanticism affirmative or negative at Radcliffe be blameworthy, the Lampoon may be blamed for expecting realism in the CRIMSON.

This mechanical age is doing it's best to frustrate any attempt on the Vagabond's part to lead the Harvard man to new intellectual heights. Two days ago he pointed out a particularly interesting lecture, which should have been of interest to all Vagabondia.

The car reached Massachusetts Avenue, turned left, the driver looking for a place to park. Obviously, it being eleven...
Things have come to a pretty sorry pass when the success of modern education depends on the availability of parking places. The Vagabond is frankly depressed. But if traffic and the machine age combine to thwart the intellectual, perhaps they can be forced to aid education. The Vagabond,peering into the dim future sees a new Harvard. It has become so thoroughly Oxfordized that the students have "scouts", and television has become the accepted means of education. He sees a room in Lowell House, a students figure reclining on a couch, a henchman hovering over an instrument in the corner...
