At ]Meeting
Wide Suibject Variery
- -.
Will Be Covered by
Academy Conferences
Everything from "Earthenware
tazzas from the Philippines" to "Ex-
periments with commercial culture
of the ribbed mussel" will be covered
in papers presented by scholars from
all over Michigan who will come to
Ann Anbor Friday and Saturday to
take part in the 49th annual meeting
of the Michigan Academy of Science,
Arts and Letters.
All addresses and section meetings
of the two-day Academy will be open
to the public. The majority of tne
topics to be considered are of an aca-
demic nature.
For instance, the Anthropology
section will hear a discussion of "The
nutrition of paleolithic man" and
"Reflections on Inter-American ar-
chaeological connections." Those in-
terested in botany will find such
topics as "A fossil tree fern from
southern Texas" and "Anatomical
studies of the Russian dandelion"
adequately covered.
The folklore section will consider
"Newspaper items about Victory V's
in nature," and "Cookery and quack-
ery" while "Medieval Persian porce-
lain" will be discussed in the fine
arts section. "A syntactical analysis
of prison jargon" will be one of the
topics in the language and literature
division, while the "Living fish of
Death Valley" is on the zoology sec-
tion program.
All the topics are not of purely
academic interest, however. The eco-
nomics section will have as its theme,
"Economics of War and Post-War"
and will discuss such topics as "Con-
trol of the cost of living" and "Evalu-
ation of price control by OPA." There
will also be a panel discussion on the
"Responsibilities and Opportunities
of the Social Sciences in Adult Edu-
cation."
"University of Michigan plans of
post-war development" is one of the
subjects to be discussed by the land-
scape architecture group.
