PHONE 7421 Monsieur Ripert Speaks Saturday afiternoon the French stu dents of ,the University and ;invited guests from other tolleges, 'together. with a liberal representa-tion of citizens of Columbia had an unusual opportui ity to cmijoy a lecture in French on the subject, "Au pays de Lafayette," the .amnd of Layfayotte, delivered by Moi sicur Fmile Ripert, oficial conferen cier of the Federation of French Al liances, with which the University Cer cle is afiliated, and under whose aus pices the lecturer appeared. Nlionsicur Ripert is a most diotiii guishde writer amd lecturer, his field umb ig especially the literature of Provence. in the South of France. The modei: Department of Haute-Loire was the birth place of the great friend of the struggling American colonies, the MIarquis of 1,ay fayet-te, and just as the first crusade had its origin in this regioln many centuries ago, so the niodern crusade headed by Lafayette toik ils start in the same region and from there came the help that was perhaps essential to the ultimate vic tory if -the United States of America in its first struggle with Fanigland. Numerous lantern slides accompain ied the lecture, infortunately rendered defective by the daylight coming inl through the chapel windows, only part of which had been darkened. The Un iversity has cryi,ig need for a modern auditorium with proper equipmiont for illustrated lectures by day or nighot. Several liidred persons were preset at Nlonsicur Jipert's pr.esentation of his native regi ion and all were impres'; ed, evenl where complete understanding was not had. Mlonsieur was impressed by the fact that he was a visitor to the same city where L,afayette was received on his sec"Od viit just a hundred years ago. ''lh( cerem(icnies of the meeting were hiatled by Ar. J. IB. Costanzo, pres idetit of the Cercle Fraicais, who in troduced Professor Keith, who in turn presented the speaker.
