M. Fay, who is a distinguished French critic and author, will probably talk either on Marcel Proust or upon some similar topic related to contemporary French literature. Due to the small size of the common room, the guests will be limited to tutors of Dunster House and their undergraduate guests. M. Fay will speak at the invitation of several tutors in Dunster House.
Speaks Again
Students who are unable to hear M. Fay on Monday evening will, however, be afforded an opportunity to hear him speak on the subject. "Gertrude Stein and the Chapelle of the Rue de Fleurs," the first Morris Gray talk. It will be given in the Exhibition Room of Widener Library, at 7.30 o'clock on the evening of Wednesday, November 12. At that time undergraduates will be admitted who have secured invitations in advance at the Library. This is the first time in the history of the Morris Gray talks that undergraduates have been invited in large numbers. Hither-to the meetings have been limited to a small group, due to the lack of a suitable room in the Library.
M. Fay is professor of French Literature at the University of Clermont-Ferrand.
