Captain Andre Morize, now Assistant Professor of French Literature at the University will open the exhibition this afternoon with a speech. To that charm of manner which used to make even a discussion of sand-bagged parapets attractive a year ago, Captain Morize now adds a very complete knowledge of the field of French art, and will know and feel whereof he speaks. As usual, we are confident that Captain Morize's talk will be well attended by undergraduates...
