The Conference Francaise will begin its fifth year by a meeting today, in room 8, Roberts Block, Brattle St., at 8 o'clock. The career of this society has been one of great and constantly increasing prosperity and usefulness, not only in respect to the plays it produces annually, but especially in the opportunities it gives those interested in the French language and in French affairs to meet and converse under pleasant social conditions. Its finances are sound, its membership large, and its members devoted. Its present government desires to extend its benefits to all who can appreciate them, and invites every student who cares for its objects to present himself for membership. The coming meeting will be open to the University, and any man who wishes to see the Conference at home will be welcome. Professor de Sumichrast will speak on "The Haps and Mishaps of Francisque Sarcey, lecturer."

After the meeting, the secretary will be glad to receive the names of those seeking membership. He may be addressed at any time at Matthews 30.

W. G HOWARD, Pres.W. H. GARLAND, Sec.
