M. Jules Cambon

Among the speakers at the Annual Commencement dinner of the Alumni Association of Harvard College, June 28, were M. Jules Cambon, ambassador from France to the United States, and Major-General Wood, military governor of the Province of Santiago.

M. Cambon spoke in part as follows:—

I am extremely grateful to President Adams, for permitting me to speak to you in French—(laughter)—and I will tell you the reason. (Applause.) It is because I believe that all here will understand my French very much better than they would understand my English. (Great laughter and applause.)
