Music is the subject that commands the Vagabond's attention today, for there are opportunities to enjoy demonstrations of both the theory and the practice. The scientific explanation of music will be made available when Professor Spaulding gives the first of a series of lectures on "Sound and its Relation to Music" at 4 o'clock in the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, Room 1, on the subject of "Vibrations". Having mastered the factors that distinguish symphony concerts from the more subtle music of the sounds emitted by, say, the Harvard Square traffic, the musically inclined can obtain a practical exposition...

...accordance with the Vagabond' policy of recommending lectures in the sciences wherever possible, he wishes to point out that Professor Allen will speak this afternoon on "Bird Migration, Its Causes and Methods" at 2 o'clock in room 46 of the Zoological Laboratory. A lecture of this sort while based on accurate scientific investigation is not likely to involve discursions into higher mathematics or other indispensable technical equipment strange to the average undergraduate. Added to the relative simplicity of the scientific background necessary for the comprehension of a lecture of this sort, the wide general interest of a phenomenon which...
...undergraduates who have not at one time or another cherished the hope of sometime writing a short story. For those who wish to know more about the mechanics involved in such a procedure the Vagabond is fortunate in being able to suggest a lecture to he given in connection with English 22. Today at 2 o'clock Mr. John Gallishaw, who conducts a School for Creative Writing in New York City will speak in Sever 11 on the subject "Short Story Writing" Mr. Gallishaw brings to his audience besides an established ability as a writer a varied experience in other...
