NADINFE ANNE MARIE, BOUCHERON, aged nearly 32, died in Sept. 1991 in an accident in her native France. No further details are available. She was born Oct. 4, 1959, in Vincennes. She received her primary and secondary education locally and proved to be an excellent scholar. Her undergraduate studies and early years of graduate school in France were experienced at the Ecole Normale Superieure, in Paris, where she ranked fourth out of five hundred candidates in a competitive entrance examination. During her first two years at the Ecole, She wrote a research paper on Nathalie Sarraute and was admitted to the "Agregation " of modern literature. Mlle.

This treatise she completed during her one year exchange visit at Princeton, in the academic year 198485, and she was awarded her doctor of philosophy degree by the Dept. of Romance Languages. Subsequent to tier return to France in Oct. 1985, no record exists of her activities in scholarly or nonacademic affairs, save the report and approximate date of tier accidental death. We are sincerely grateful to Mile. Ann Marie Thiebaut of the registration office at the Ecole Normale Superieure for her help in securing what little information we have cited here. No relatives or friends have been identified either here or in France.
