M. Anatole Le Braz delivered the second of his series of Hyde lectures in Sanders Theatre yesterday afternoon. He discussed the Breton nature and showed its close resemblance to that of the other Celtic peoples. In summing up their characteristic traits he pointed out the craving for adventure which has constantly lead them from the east to the west, from the old world to the new. They became greater navigators than the Phoenicians or the Scandinavians, and Homer's Odessey in comparison with St. Brandon's voyages seems but a commonplace trip. No race has been so endowed in the creation of fiction as the common peasants of Brittany and Ireland, who excel the ancient poets in weaving imaginative tales, such as the Arthurean cycle.
M. Le Braz will deliver the third Hyde lecture Monday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock in Sanders Theatre.
