THE STUDENT VAGABOND

A common complaint heard often from the followers of academic pathways is that so much time must be spent on studies that there is little left for acquiring our education. Though, to put it mildly, this is an exaggeration, the fact remains that for the Student Vagabond at least, the week-end offers a bright and golden opportunity from wanderings from the strictly academic pastures into regions where, to continue the metaphor, he may feed upon the more tender verdure of the art galleries and drink of the sparkling streams of music.

For him, however, who wishes to spend his morning scholastically, the Vagabond can think of no better place to go at 11 o'clock or a moment or two after, than Harvard 3, where Professor Murray will lecture on Richard Steele.

In the evening a Brahms program will be given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Koussevitsky in Symphony Hall. The first number will be the so-called, Tragic Overture, which will be followed by Concerto No. 2, in B flat major for pianoforte and orchestra will present the second Symphony in D major.

Tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 in the same place, Mme Galli Curel will sing some beautiful seventeenth and eighteenth century songs from the French and Italian, airs from Mozart's "Figaro" and a number of other very interesting selections, prominent among which is Benedict's "Gipsy and the Bird", for which there will be a flute obligate.

For the art lover who is also an enthusiast for wild nature, an exhibition of paintings of wild animals by Carl Rungins now being held at the Casson Galleries at 576 Boylston street, should present many attractions, while one with a taste for water colors might well take a trip to the Grace Horne Gallery or the Copley Gallery. Even the Vagabond who wanders further and finds himself at Wellesley, could do worse than go to the Farnsworth Art Museum there and see an original portrait by Tinforetto. But it is hardly to be expected that such a one would be interested in Tinforetto at the time.
