THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDA, ,MAY 2,1939 ,. . , Von Neumann To Give Ziwet Lectures Here Princeton Mathematician Will Speak Tomorrow On Measure Theory Prof. John Von Neumann of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton will give the Alexander Ziwet lectures for this year. He will speak on "The Theory of Measure in Groups" at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Room 3011 Angell Hall. Professor von Neumann won fame in the field of mathematics 13 years ago when he discovered a sound mathematical basis for some of the mathematics' most perplexing prob- lems. Since then, he has made out- standing contributions in both the field of applied and pure mathe- matics. He has also been a leader in indicating new and fruitful fields Of mathematical research. - A native of Hungary, Professor von Neumann has been connected with the Institute for many years. He was first a member of the facul- ty at the University, but when the Institute was founded, he was ap- pointed to its staff. Professor von Neumann was award- ed the Bocher prize for an outstand- ing memoir in the field of analysis in December, 1938. This paper is closely related to the topic of his lectures here. The Alexander Ziwet fund was established by the late Prof. Alex- ander Ziwet of the mathematics de- partment in the College of Engineer- ing. Ohio State Is Host At RadioMeeting Ohio State University acted as host yesterday and today to two members of the University Broadcasting Serv- ice who are attending the annual meeting of the National Institute of Education by Radio in Columbus, Ohio. Prof. Waldo M. Abbot, director of the Brodacasting Service, and Jerome Wiesner, assistant director, after at- tending discussions on research and radio education, will return to Ann, Arbor tomorrow. Architecture School Presents Ceramic Sculpture On Display Porcelains And Pottery Also Featured During Two-Week Exhibition By ROY BUEHLER Ceramic art, which is unique in introducing the use of color as an added dimension in sculpture, is featured along with unusually treat- ed pottery and porcelains in the exhibit at the Architecture School, which will be held from April 30 to May 13. Participating ceramists are out- standing in the creative educational and the commercial fields of cera- mic art, and have cooperated in establishing the course in this sub- ject recently opened to University students. Mary Chase Stratton, head of the Pewabic pottery firm in Detroit, John A. Foster, ceramic engineer at the Pord River Rouge laboratories and Maija Grotel, of Cranbrook have exhibits of exceptionally fine crys- talline and irridescent glazed pottery and porcelain. Among the sculptors exhibiting are Clivia Calder, of Arts and Crafts, Detroit, Howard Whalen, of the Architecture School and Helen Brett Babbington of Detroit. Three Michigan students also have pieces on display: Charles Abbott, Grad., Barbara Bolton, '40A, and' Lucy Ann Kirkpatrick. Though all ceramic work is popu- larly thought of as pottery, ceramic is as legitimate a medium for sculp- ture as bronze or other traditional' materials, according to Mr. Whalen. Made from a clay similar to thatl used in common brick, and glazed with a glass coating, ceramic pieces> are able to withstand the elements as well or better than the more popularl mediums of expression such as bronze' stone and wood, he said. John A. Foster has on exhibit,' porcelain pieces in which he has,l achieved unusual crystalline and] "crakled" effects. The process em-. ployed in this work is not practical, for commercial production, accord-1 ing to Mr. Foster, and hence is limit- ed to studio expression. In his work,1 Mr. Foster has reproduced the old Chinese glazes of Sung wares, andi the incised and pierced wares of thet later Ming period. Clivia Calder, who has achievedl some of the largest pieces of direct-i ly modelled ceramics, has a group of human figures of extremely interest- ing character and expression. Some of the pieces by Helen Brett Bab- bington are of the natural red clay and are given a wax finish rather' than glaze. Mrs. Stratton's work is in pottery, and is of the irridescent type for which she is noted. Several of the works cf Howard Whalen are of abstract forms, and may, according to Mr. Whalen, be termed "surrealistic." Most of the figures are highly glazed and richly colored. Maija Grotel has achieved in her pottery the most direct and origi- nal shapes. All of the Grotel pieces were hand-turned; they are of simple form with bold designs on them. Benson Views FDR's Actiona Toronto Hears Edmunds Talk Pharmacologist Addresses BiologicalAssemblage Dr. Charles W. Edmunds, head of the pharmacology department, de- livered an address last Thursday in Toronto, Ont., at a meeting of the Federation of Biological Sciences. The University was represented by 22 members of the pharmacology, physi- ology and biological chemistry de- partments. The title of Dr. Edmunds' address was "Pharmacology in America." Ac- cording to Dr. Edmunds this oppor- tunity to speak was very fortunate for the first pharmacology course in America was established here at the University just 50 years ago. In addition to Dr. Edmunds, the pharmacology department was also represented by Dr. Nathan B. Eddy, Prof. Jacob Sacks, Prof. John H. Fer- guson, Prof. Hugo M. Krueger and Prof. Margaret Sunwalt.

The party will leave from the En- gineering Arch at 12:30 p.m. by special bus, and will return to Ann Arbor by 5 p.m. There will be a trans- portation charge of 25 cents for members and 90 cents for non-mem- bers of the organization. The annual trip of ASME to De- troit, for a meeting with the Detroit chapter, will be made on Tuesday, May 16. The members will make an inspection trip in the afternoon, fol- lowed by a banquet in the evening Roche To Reconstruct Troy In Drama Season (Continued from Page 1) colonial interior 'and "White Steed" will have a photographic set. But what really has interested Miss Roche is the set for "Here Come the Clowns." "I disagree violently with the set used in New York," she says. "My set will be modeled after Barry's own, impressionistic, interesting." Of sets in general, she says: "They should be functional. They are in- tended to provide atmosphere. What I try to get away from is the self-con- scious. The scenery should strength- en the scene." Max Gorleich of the Group Theatre, she feels, is doing the most interesting designing in the American theatre at the present time. s it 1 NEW STYLES FIRST AT WILD'S SHIRT AND SLACK SETS As F a orabl chemistry department were also pres- ent;Prof. Howard B.
