Professor Charles Diehl, exchange professor from the Sorbonne, delivered his first lecture in the new course. History 52, "France in the Orient in the Middle Ages", before a large audience in Emerson D yesterday afternoon. President Lowell introduced the lecturer.
Professor Diehl made a short preliminary address expressing his appreciation of the fact that he came as a representative of the oldest French university to the oldest university in America, and that he was to be so near Boston, the centre of culture in this country, after which he commenced the regular course of instruction.

After an outline of the European settlements at Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Rhodes, the lecture ended with an exposition of the effect of Eastern ideals on the Crusaders.
