In the Paris Temps for March 31 appears a letter from M. Gaston Deschamps, in which he gives some of his impressions gathered during his course of lectures here. In speaking of the place French literature holds in the Harvard curriculum, he says:
"Thanks to the zeal with which the professors of that university maintain the traditions of our tongue and the preeminence of our authors, I was able to secure an audience, and hold it to the last lecture. . . . I felt as much at home as before a Parisian audience. I had the profound satisfaction of being perfectly understood. I could see that my subject (Le Theatre Contemporain on France) had been studied thoroughly by those whom I addressed,"
In conclusion, M. Deschamps gives an enthusiastic account of "La Cercle Francais" and its work.
