CROWNED BY THE FRENCH ACADEMY Ren Franois Nicolas Marie Bazin was a French novelist. Born at Angers, he studied law in Paris, and on his return to Angers became professor of law in the Catholic university there. He made his reputation with "Une Tache d'Encre" ("The Ink Stain"), which received a prize from the Academy. The book by which Bazin is best known to English and American readers is that on the Italy of his time, rendered into English under the title "The Italians of Today," He was called "The Apostle of Home Life" by contemporaries. Ren Bazin was admitted to the Acadmie Franaise on April 28, 1904. The protagonist of "The Ink Stain" is a law student. Studying at the library, he knocks over an inkwell, leaving an enormous blot on the text being read by another patron. Visiting the patron later at his home, he attempts to apologize, In doing so, he meets the patron's daughter, and falls hopelessly in love. His uncle rejects the notion of his bringing home a Parisian wife. The girl's hand is promised to another: a noble of good family but questionable character and habits.
