FROM NOON UNTIL MIDNIGHT HE

ACADEMY AND DELIVERING A
LECTURE.
BY Associated Press.

! Paris, April 23.-Using Roosevelt's
own words, today marked the crown1ng
of his career as a man of letters.
From noon until midnight he was the
guest of intellectual Paris, participat-
ing as member at the session of the
French academy, delivering a lecture
at Sarbonne, which he said was the
worlds foremost seat of learning be-
fore America was discovered. He was
the faculty's dinner guest, and grand
reception was given in his honor. The
reception was at the French Academy
and was impressive. He was intro
duced as a member and took his seat
among the distinguished conferees
most of whom have grown old in the
service.
Roosevelt spoke in French, his ut
terances arousing unwonted applause
There was no attempt at Sarbonne tc
restrain the enthusiasm, students and
faculty joining in rounds of cheering.
