Count Riant was a thorough scholar, who had devoted his life to the study of the Crusades and all historical questions connected with them. As the founder of the "Societe de l' Orient Latin," as a prolific author, and as a keen learned expert in the study of manuscript, he has done more than any other modern writer to advance our knowledge in this field. At his chateau in the Valadis where he passed his summers, he had gathered a great library of books relating to the subject of his studies, and it is the portion of this collection relating...

To him who rendered it possible for the Cercle to thus benefit the University thanks are due, and the success of this year augurs well for that of the lectureship in years to come...
...with regret then that we saw that Cornell apparently did not appreciate our position, and it comes as a relief to know that we had stated it clearly at the Albany conference, and so did not compel her to act in the dark. This knowledge does not lessen our keen disappointment that a race has not been arranged, but enables us to support more firmly the action of Yale's representatives in finally declining a condition that could not be accepted in justice to ourselves...
