Professor Wendell's Year Abroad.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor Barrett Wendell '77, who has been granted leave of absence for the coming year, will give a course of lectures at the Sorbonne, and several French provincial universities, on "American Literature, Manners, Customs, and Institutions." Professor Wendell will sail for Europe, October 13, on the "Cymric." His duties will call for two lectures a week at the Sorbonne from November 1 until the middle of March, and lectures at the universities of Dijon, Lille, Bordeaux, Grenoble, Lyons and Caen, until July. Owing to the success of the French lectureships established by J. H. Hyde '98, of New York, at the University and elsewhere in the United States, Mr. Hyde has offered to found a similar course at the Sorbonne, on American literature and institutions. The University of Paris has accepted the offer, with the understanding that the course will be made permanent if it is successful the first year.
