to nmembers of- the '°Cerele ' Dramiatique
Francais and other 'stoelesnts'.of the "Uni-
versity participating in ee..lege dramatics.
In, his treatment Mr. Kenyon traced the
developmecnt of the drama in the schooln
utnd colleges of France, which iu in grea'
PArt a' history of' the theater, whose
growth iu so closely connected with the
history -of the theater in' college.
"The college fetes,"' said 'Mr. Kenyon,
"at whichthter performnances of theatrical'
iieces were giveciare of a very old date.
Tile cartulary of one of the principal'
colleges-of Paris iii 'thefourteenthe cen-
leery mentions certain idays 'of thee year
whicte were devoted ,itorest andeter-
tinesntes. It cancnot he said, however,
theat thee theater, at tiss titme is such as:
swe neow'kecow it, btut ther festivals which
conesisiedi almost witteotut exception of
processioees; dances and disguises were;
the. beginniing of the draima. The; redt-
ords of tlse city of' Caen tell of the sted-
dents of its' colleges giving morality
plays' and "fatrces joyceses" at the dif-
ferent cross-roads of the city, on stqges'

"The Chisteane drama was born in

essersteip at Cheristnsas. and Faster. IHow-

"Thyl Society of, the 'Jesuits, founded
in t$3j, gave .the principal and. most'irs'
portant progress: to dratnatic affairs, for-
u nder their leadership the theater die-
tveloped very rapidly. The Jrsuits were
convinced that draneatic exercises most'
-effectively aided in the development of
character and sentiments, in the culture
of te- mind and memory. They also
conesidered that the. bearing, the voice,
the ease :aeed grace of their" students
could be gained oniy by dramatic exer-
cises. The Jesuits and scholars as a
whole were instrumental in preserving
Latin as the authorized language till
1during the sixteenth century. Tie- im-
neense dranmatic prodeectioe of the Jesuits
1was de tthte fact that every professor
- of rhetoric was obeliged to furnsishe each,
ryear a Latine tragedy ice verse, of five
acts geenerally. Thcat which omne finsds of

Jestuits eras thte 'balleis',ice Frenech, witiche

In the Jesueit College de Loeuis le grand,
from 1579 I)to761t, 269 plays were pre-
-snimed. -t65 of whsicie were tragesti''
r:dranias, ' 35" comedies, aend 49 ballets acid
pastorales.,
."After .thce sueppression of the society
tof the.. Jesuits ice 1762, thce college -stakge
-fell almost into- disuese ice Franece. But

tcoll~e students.
Mf. Gofflos, a Frenchl writer-of a re-
cent hook oce college edramatics, says the
filowineg1of tProf. ileziat, Ilirecter et
regisseter of tile _Cercle. Draneiatique
EFrancais : "At WVest Virgienia teniver-
sity, a yotung Frenechmsane, M. Beziat de
Hordes, teas obtaineed, far above every-
thsing aced all others, mnarvellous results."
"Whsat," asked Mt. Keneyon, "would
M. Gofflot, the aletheor, say of our amia-
ble regisseur if lie Ihad ,seen the pre-.
sentation of 'Le Boutrgeois -Gesrtiloeeme'
last year?"
tee closineg, Mr. Keneyons said : "I wish
to the Cercle Drtamatique Francais of
thse Univerlsity of Micheigan' a emest bril-
liant.aced successflel fleture. Recall the
exceptional history of the college stage
en Franece aced I ame certaine that you
as menebers of the Ceercle will show
yourselves wvorthy of continuing aend ele-
