Professor C. H. Grandgent '83, professor of Romance Languages in the University since 1896, will deliver at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon, in Emerson D, the third lecture in the series entitled "Four Great Poets", which is being given by University professors on successive Wednesday afternoons this winter.
The subject for this afternoon's talk will be "Dante", a subject on which Professor Grandgent has written many articles and books, including "The Ladies of Dante's Lyrics", and "The Power of Dante". He has also compiled a number of works on Italian and French grammar, pedagogy, and the Middle Ages, and has published an edition of the "Divine Comedy". In 1915 and 1916, Professor Grandgent was an exchange professor in Paris; and from 1917 to 1920 served as president of the Italian War Relief Fund of America.
The lecture series will be completed next Wednesday afternoon, March 7 when Professor J. L. Lowes G. '03 will speak on "Milton". The lectures are open to all students of the University and Radcliffe.
