By HARRY LEVINE
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third ins
a series of weekly articles onf aentiy per-
sonalities.
Prof. William Frankena meets all
the popular requirements for a phil-
osopher.
He is tall, lean, almost ascetic-
looking and obligingly follows the
advice of fellow philosopher Vol-
taire and "cultivates his own garden"
Philosophy Flourishes
In a world filled with vocational
education and on-the-job training,
Prof. Frankena flourishes with the
largest philosophy classes in the
University's history.
Starting his education at Calvin
College in Grand Rapids and con-
tinuing at the University, Harvard,
Cambridge, and Dreiburg, he re-
turned here in 1937 as an instructor
in philosophy.
Lecture Team-mates
A novel educational turn developed
when Prof. Frankena combined
forces with Paul Henle, who was
then instructing the same courses in
philosophy, and formed a highly
successful team in which they chose
philosophical sides and gave joint
lectures.
It all began casually enough over
several glasses of beer at one of the
quiet downtown taverns, in the days

meeting the traditional resistance to
"new ideas," the department whole-
heartedly endorsed it.
"They were quite enthusiastic,"
says Prof. Frankena.
The war broke up the team and to-
day, with Heide at Northwestern,
Prof. Frankena delivers his lectures

Eager Questioners
His lectures are informal and stu-
dents interrupt him frequently to
question him. In fact, it is not un-
usual to see six or seven students
waiting after class ready to pounce
on him with a seemingly endless
battery of questions. Often they ar-
gue right up until the time the class
immediately following Prof. Fran-
kenna's has occupied the room and
then the remainder of the would-
be philosophers track him out into
the hallway.
Sometimes, when the questioners
are numerous he is forced to hold a
last stand at the head of the stais
before disposing of the final one.
Home Life Quieter
His home life is a little quieter with
his wife and two sons, Carl, age 7
and Mark, age 3, although he is the
last to admit this.
"I have more trouble explaining
nursery rhymes to Carl than ex-
plaining philosophy to classes," hee
comments.

Muake Inspetion Trip
Resuming its pre-war practice of
initiating excursions to educational
institutes inside and outside the
country, the School of Education
last week sponsored a trip to Wind-
sor, Canada, to visit the elementary
and secondary school systems there.
The forty students in the intro-
ductory course in education who went
on the trip "were provided with a
sound basis for comparison of school
systems," according to Prof. Claude
A. Eggertson of the education school.
"The trip," he added, "also tended to
build pride in our own educational
system, and to build morale among
our prospective teachers."
The students visited an elementary
school and the Windsor Collegiate
Institute, which corresponds to our
high schools except that the Institute
has thirteen grades. The education
students visited classes and ob-
served student activities, including a
football game in the afternoon.
The Windsor trip is the first of
ten trips scheduled by the School of
Education for its introductory
classes. The others include visits to
a rural one-room school, a consoli-
dated school, and the Cassidy Lake
Juvenile Delinquency Camp.

"Michigan on the March," the
sound film ,describing the activities
of the University during wartime,
was shown Sept. 4 and 5 in Nicara-
gua, according to T. Hawley Tapping,
general secretary of the Alumni As-
sociation.
The film was attended by several
University alumni and by English In-
titute students who intend to study
in the United States.

The film, which is making a tour
of the Latin American and South
American countries, will soon be
shown in Caracas, Venezuela, and
Bogota, Columbia.

'Hello Moscow'
Will Be Shown
By Art Cinema
The second presentation of the Art
Cinema League will be the Russian
film "Hello Moscow" Thursday, Fri-
day, and Saturday at the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
"Hello Moscow" is the first post-
war Russian musical. Based on a
Soviet sponsored program for indus-
trial and dramatic training, the film
uses student actors who received
training under the plan. Russian folk
songs and dances-are featured in the
film, which is a departure from a long
series of documentary films put out
by the Soviet during the war.
"Hello Moscow" is directed by Ser-
gei Yutkevitch, well known as a di-
rector in Russia, and employs sev-
eral established stars in supporting
roles. It runs 84 minutes. and is sup-
plemented by a short musical, "Bay-
aderka Ballet."
Tickets for "Hello Moscow" may be
obtained at the Lydia Mendelssohn
box office beginning Wednesday aft-
ernoon. All performances begin at,
8:30 p.m.
