Assumption College Presents French Singer Jacques Yvart;
First Centennial Concert of the Series

November, 2003—Assumption College is honored to have its first Centennial concert with French singer Jacques Yvart, who is performing at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 2nd, 2003 in the Auditorium of La Maison Francaise. Born to a long line of sailing families on the French seacoast in Dunqerque, Mr. Yvart makes the sea and sailing a central theme of his popular folk songs. He travels widely to perform, and is known on U.S. campuses as "The French Troubadour."

Assumption College, founded in 1904 by the Augustinians of the Assumption, offers a Catholic liberal arts and sciences education to 2,000 undergraduates along with programs for graduate and continuing education students.

In selecting our Centennial theme of ‘The Learning Relationship,’ Assumption College recommits itself to providing an intellectual, social and spiritual environment supported by a committed faculty and staff. Our Centennial began with commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the June 9, 1953 tornado that devastated the original Assumption campus. The celebration continues through December 2004, offering the College community and its guests a thoughtful series of distinguished lecturers, performances and exhibits.
