The Calendar for this week contains the announcement of a large number of lectures which promise to be instructive and interesting. The principal ones, open to all members of the University, are the three papers in the Modern Language Conference; the first of six exhibitions of lantern slides illustrating the Fine Arts of the Renaissance by Professor Moore; the first of two lectures on Education by Professor Hanus; the lecture by Professor Morgan on "The House of Vettius"; and Professor Grandgent's lecture on "French Nasal Vowels and American Nasality."

Professor Moore last year gave a series of exhibitions, similar to the six beginning tonight, which proved very interesting. Professor Hanus also gave lectures last winter, of value to those who intend to become teachers, on the subject of his two addresses this winter. The two lectures by the French Department are likewise modeled on the plan of a very entertaining series of lectures held last year.

These lectures should therefore be well worth attending. The one unfortunate but unavoidable accompaniment of having so many lectures crowded into a single week is that many men who would like to hear all or several of them can not find the time to attend more than one or two. It is realized, however, that few can attend more than a part of the many addresses and lectures given during the year, and they are therefore arranged to cover a wide range of subjects, so that in choosing from the large number given students may always find some that will be of especial interest or value.
