...matter how the creators of cultured men feel about it, the fact remains that very few students meet those ancient authors of whose distant fame they have heard since their Gore Hall period, until the melancholy days of Divisionals are near. So the Vagabond was pleasantly surprised to learn that Sophocles' tragedy Electra was being presented at Eliot Hall, Jamaica Plain. There he found the ancient drama excellently played against a background of temple and poplars, with a cast directed by a former member of the 47 Workshop. With the altruistic spirit typical of better-class Vagabonds, he sought information...
...Vagabond had it on his calendar to say something today about the fact that spring is only ten days off now, but the poor arithmetic of a janitor who thought it had already come and took the day off yesterday, along with the steam in the radiator, changed his mind on that score. It took every one of the hitherto purely ornamental logs in his fire-place to thaw out his typewriter enough to use, so before it solidifies again he hastens to add that any such comments are hereby postponed to a later and he hopes not too much...

Until tomorrow, however, there are plenty of events to keep the Vagabond's thoughts from turning to more frivolous things. At 10 o'clock in the Music Building the Darrell String Quartet will play selections from the works of Haydn, a concert postponed from last week. Government students have an attraction in the lecture to be given by Dr. Miller McClintock, Director of the Harvard Bureau of Municipal Research, on "Research Methods in Problems of Municipal Administration". It will be given in Harvard 6 at 2 o'clock...
