France and Yale Honor the Great French Poet and Writer of Tragedy.

He was Pierre Corneille, the writer of Immortal poems, comedies, and trage dies, and today the learned sodtles of Paris united In paying tribute to his memory. Born of a lawyer, Corneille was as deAnltely headed toward his father’s profession' as was Sir Walter Scott after him.

After producing several successful comedies Corneille turned bis hand to the writ ing of tragedies. “The Ctd,” ‘‘Clnna’’ and “Polyeucte" led the way to that mass of work which today'numbers thirty-three titles. His works have been criticized keenly, but France still insists that he was the creator of her tragedy. Yale, Too, Honors Corneille.
