devotion to the work he has in hand, says one of his confreres. He has un- swervingly labored to encourage and promote the cultivation and study of the French language and literature in his State. His purpose and his achievement have been the improvement of methods and the elevation of the standard in the study of French to that oi true scholarship, and we find him active in every enterprise leading to that end. His own scholarship is at the same time broad and thorough, including research in English, Spanish, Italian, German, and the classical languages and literature. His studies in Romance philology have been extensive, and he has practically opened a new field for Hnguistic study through his researches in the Acadian and other dialects of French in Louisiana. His accurate and successful work along this line has earned him a national reputation, and has made his name well known to every European philologist. The French Government has recognized his labors by decorating him as Ofificier de rinstruction Publique, and as Chevalier de la Legion d ' Honneur. Pro- fessor Fortier has delivered courses of lectures both in French and English before Tulane University, Southern Art Union, I ' Athenee Louisianais, the Monteagle Assembly, Catholic Summer School, Harvard University, Yale, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, University of Virginia, University of Cincinnati, and University of Tennessee, and has taught and lectured in summer sessions of the LTniversity of Tennessee, University of Wisconsin, University of Cali- fornia, University of Kansas, University of Colorado, and the University of Chicago. Professor Fortier is a prominent member of I ' Athenee Louisianais ; the Louisiana Historical Society ; the Public School Alliance ; the American Dialect Society ; the Modern Language Association of America, which he has served as president ) American ' Folk-Lore Society ; and honorary president of the Fed- eration de FAlliance Frangaise aux Etats-LTnis et au Canada. From 1888 to 1896 he was a member of the State Board of Education, and his interest in the public schools has never abated. One of the most commendable facts about Professor Fortier is that notwithstanding the multitudinous calls on his time. he is ready in any town in Louisiana, however small and unimportant, to make an address to the teachers, the pupils, or the patrons of the schools. Professor Fortier writes both in French and English, probably writing the former with more ease, assuredly with more eloquence, than the latter. His contributions to literature have been numerous and varied. He is an indefatig- able contributor to philological and historical publication ' s. He received the degree of Doctor of Letters from Washington and Lee University and from Laval LTniversity at Quebec.
