Professor Wiener's Lecture Tonight.

Professor L. Wiener of the Slavic Department will give a lecture before the Sociedad Espanola at 8 o'clock this evening in the Assembly Room of the Union on "The Life and Literature of the Spanish Jews in Turkey."

After the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 many of them went to Turkey, where they retained the Spanish language through writing it in Hebrew characters. From the descendants of these Jews it is possible to gain a far more accurate knowledge of fifteenth century Spanish than can be obtained in Spain. Professor Wiener spent the summer of 1898 in Turkey, investigating this old Spanish, and collected a number of songs which he will read and discuss tonight.

All members of the University interested in Spanish are invited to attend the meeting.
