Last week saw events which we hope have strengthened the
Entente Cordiale. The Prince of Wales went to PS.ris and on Friday laid the foundation stone of the British College which is to rise up in its place in the Cite Universitaire among . the colleges of other nations. The celebrations of the nine hundredth anniversary of the birth of William the Conqueror came to an end. They have been of great charm for us all. The French have been excellent hosts and provided episcopal and political blessings accompanied by musical, dramatic, pyrotechnic and other entertainment, besides lodging and lavish banquets for the British visitors. And brave English amateurs sang to the French. Apart from the fellow- ship of the War, time has done a good deal to soften any acerbities which existed between Normans, French and English nine centuries ago.
