Abstract
THE French visitors have come and gone. To describe in detail the events of a crowded programme would be impossible. We can here only give a brief sketch. From the first meeting on Whit Monday, at the informal dinner given at the Empress Rooms of the Royal Palace Hotel, it was obvious that the entente between the French savants and their English hosts was sincere and cordial, and that it was of much older standing than the political agreement. The Vice-Chancellor, Sir Edward Busk, speak- ing in French, struck the right note at the outset, and Sir Walter Palmer, the chairman of the reception committee, and Mr. P. J. Hartog, the academic registrar of the university (who acted with Mr. W. K. Hill as secretary), both former students of the Sorbonne, welcomed, in the French guests, old teachers and fellow-students.
