The Godkin lectures, which are given this year by Professor Dupriez, visiting professor from the University of Louvain, have been unusually interesting to students of government. In spite of this, the attendance has been small, in fact confined almost entirely to outsiders. This is doubtless due to the fact that little is known of their character. This series of four lectures, given in French, is on the subject of "Proportional Representation in Belgium." Professor Dupriez is one of the greatest living authorities on proportional representation, and he describes a system which he himself helped to institute in Belgium. His views are all the more valuable because of his practical experience. The University has taken a great interest in the affairs of Louvain, and Professor Dupriez's unusual position should make his lectures doubly interesting.
