LECTURES AND CONCERTS

Aside from the series of faculty lectures already announced in these pages, the college community has been fortunate in the opportunities that have been offered it. From March 16 to 21, Andre Bellessort, professor of advanced rhetoric in the Lycee Louis le Grand, lectured in French on various themes connected with France and its intellectual life. The subjects of his lectures were:

La France et le Paris qu'on ne voit pas; Le culte de Teanne d'Arc dans la France Contemporaine; Dans quelle mesure les romans franÇais sont-ils la peinture de la société frangaise contemporaine? Le sérieux du théàtre français contemporaine; Le cosmopolitisme et I'esprit franÇais; De l'influence de l'Amerique du Nord sur les idees et les moeurs franÇaises, et des principaux "types" americains dans notre literature.

The second lecture on Germany by Dr. MÜller, the Prussian Exchange Teacher, was delivered on March 19. His subject was "Germany from the Baltic Sea to the Bavarian Alps".

On March 23, Miss Alma Gluck of the Metropolitan Opera Company, sang in Webster Hall to a large audience. This was the most notable musical event in Hanover since the concert by Madame Schumann-Heinck a few years ago.
