M. Edmund Privat on "Esperanto"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

M. Edmund Privat, of Geneva, Switzerland, will give an address on "Esperanto" in the Assembly Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock. He will describe the use that is being made of the new language in Europe, and the recent convention held at Cambridge, England, at which all the business of the meeting of 1400 Esperantists from 95 countries was conducted in Esperanto. Professor William James will introduce the speaker.

A recent graduate of the University of Geneva and the founder of one of the numerous Esperanto journals, M. Privat is very well fitted to explain the status of the Esperanto movement and the relation of the University student toward it. He was secretary of the second Esperanto Congress held at Geneva in 1906, and is one of the most distinguished Esperantists in Europe.

The address will be open to all members of the Union.
