PROFESSOR FEUILLERAT TO LECTURE ON SHAKSPERE

Exchange Professor From University of Rennes Will Give Half Course on Renaissance Period

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As usual a number of interesting courses at the University will be given this year by members of the faculties of other universities.

Among these lectures will be a series on the life and time of Shakspere by Professor Albert Feuillerat, of the University of Rennes, an exchange professor from France for the first half year. They will be open to the public. The lectures will be in English, and will be given on Monday and Wednesday afternoons at four o'clock at the University. The same professor will give also a course in Shaksperian research for advanced students in Harvard College.

Professor Feuillerat holds the chair of English at the University of Rennes, and is a distinguished authority on the literature of the Renaissance. Among his most notable works are volumes dealing with John Lyly, and the office of Revels in the reigns of Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth, and an edition of Sir Philip Sidney's writings. Professor Feuillerat is remembered from his visit to the University in January, 1920, at the invitation of the department of English, as an accomplished lecturer.

From Princeton, in accordance with plans inaugurated for the first time this year by the Harvard-Princeton Fine Arts Club, comes Professor Charles R. Morey, a graduate of the University of Michigan in 1899, former fellow of the American School at Rome, and, since 1918, Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton. He will lecture on the evolution of mediaeval style in Sculpture, Painting and the Minor Arts, on early mediaeval illustrated manuscripts, and work with graduate students in the History of Mediaeval Art.

Professor John Leonard Conger, head of the department of history and government at Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, will be visiting lecturer in history and Professor George Matthew Dutcher of Wesleyan University will lecture in the same department.

Mr. Kenneth King Munsie Leys and Mr. David Lindsay King, exchange tutors from University College, Oxford, will, in addition to their other work, give a special course on topics in the history of modern England.
