A dearly held tradition of the Congress is a formal reception and banquet on the evening of the last day, during which the “Toasts of the Nations” — salutes and tributes offered by representatives of each of the many national and linguistic groups present at the gathering — are made. The reception will take place on Saturday, July 23, at 6:00 pm in the Père Marquette Gallery in DuBourg Hall, followed by the banquet at 7:00 pm in the Sinquefield Stateroom in DuBourg Hall. Cocktail attire is encouraged.
