Professor Luquiens' Lecture.

At the meeting of the Cercle Francais held Wednesday evening at the Colonial Club, Professor Jules Luquiens of Yale, delivered a scholarly lecture on Victor Cherbuliez, the French novelist.

Cherbuliez, a member of the French Academy, was born in Geneva in 1832. His works abound in philosophical discussions, and he has adopted the synthetic philosophy of Hegel, which consists in making two characters of the book represent diametrically opposite ideas and then embodying the best points of these two in a third character.

Professors and instructors from Tufts, Harvard and M. I. T. and members of the Cercle were present.
