Louis Cons
Louis Cons (born May 26, 1879 in Lyon , † April 19, 1942 ) was an American Romanist of French origin.
Life
Cons was a professor at Bryn Mawr College , Princeton University, and Columbia University . He was active in the 'Société des Professeurs Français d'Amérique' (SPFA) founded in 1904, and since 1992 'Société des Professeurs Français et Francophones d'Amérique' (SPFFA).
Cons' thesis that the author of the farce de Maître Pathelin was Guillaume Alecis, who was supported by Richard Thayer Holbrook , could not prevail.
Louis Cons is not to be confused with the author of the same name of history books for the French school system from 1880 onwards.
