PLAN FOR. GIFT TO SORBONNE
DESCRIBED BY MISS SCHENCK
Bryn. Mawr will supply the library of the
Sorbonne with American books. if the fund
described by Miss Schenck, Professor of
« French, in chapel, Wednesday morning, can
be gained.
The idea has been approved: by the alum-
. mae and Board of Directors, The Bryn
Mawr Service Corps has-given $2000, and it
‘only remains, according to Miss Schenck,
‘to interest the undergraduates. The library
of the Sorbonne, ,Miss Schenck said, has
almost no American books. In 1918, as a
natural result of the war, a department of
_ American: civilization and literature was
opened, and Professor Cestre, a Harvard
, graduate student and exchange professor,
called to its head.. A meagre collection of
“old history, poétry, economic:and: sociolog-
ical books was made. Now when there is
a vety great demand for books of Amer-
ican literature, all the educational -appro-
priation money in- France has to go to the
rebuilding of destroyed schoolhouses:
“ As a member of the committee, Miss
Schenck guaranteed that if the fund can
be established, ‘each year, a collection of
carefully chosen and recent books can go
across t6 this department of eager students,
that the administration of this fund will
be as economical: as possible, and_ that
: the authors will be. asked to contribute
their own books whenever feasible. Al-
ready Vachel Lindsay has sent a set of his
with invaluable comments. on. each.
‘The reasons for supporting this plan are
obvious. The Sorbonne has always been
most generous to American students and,
- at this time anything that can express the
sympathy of the American people for
France is well worth while.
have a chance to contribute,” Miss Schenck
_ concluded, “when’ the French Club makes
its drive.. Give*what you.can @ an expres-
sion of broad sympathy from Bryn Mawr.”
