Tomorrow evening at eight o'clock, in the Faculty Room of the Union, Monsieur Bernard Fay will address the Modern Language Conference and the History Club on "The Value of Hypotheses in History and Criticism". The meeting is open to all members of the University.
M. Fay has been well known at Harvard for several years. In 1919-20 he held the Victor Emmanuel Chapman Fellowship, and at the end of his year of residence was awarded the degree A.M. While at Harvard he was closely associated with undergraduate interests. The remarkable success of the Glee Club's European tour in the following summer was due in large measure to his efforts.
As a scholar and critic M. Fay has won an international reputation. In the past four years he has written a number of keen articles on American ideas and American politics, which have appeared in the "Correspondant" and other French periodicals. Last winter he published a series of articles on French literature from 1880 to 1924 which have attracted wide attention. M. Fay is one of the leaders of the modern French school, and he has been in great demand as a lecturer on the modern theories of criticism.
