Records of the Cercle Français de l'Université Harvard, and 1873 1888-1952

http://id.lib.harvard.edu/ead/hua21008/catalog

The first organization at Harvard University to use the name "Cercle Français" was established in November 1873 to encourage the study of French language and literature. This club was in existence until 1875. A second Cercle Français was founded by Adolphe Cohn, professor of French at Harvard, in 1886 as a debating club under the name Conférence Française. The group soon changed its focus to begin producing French plays, an annual tradition that continued at least into the 1940s. The records document the history, activities, and interests of both organizations, with the bulk of the records documenting the later group.
