Michigan's loss will be France's
gain when Prof. Rene Talamon,
retiring after forty years with the
romance language department, re-
turns to his native country this
summer.
A distinguished scholar, Prof.
Talamon was born and educated
in Paris and came to the Univer-
sity in 1909 after having taught
two years at Williams College.
AT THE OUTBREAK of the
first World War, Prof. Talamon
doffed his professor's garb to don
the uniform of the French army.
Wounded during the war, he re-
ceived the Croix de Guerre,
France's highest military tribute,
and the Legion of Honor.
He resumed teaching duties
here in 1919 after serving as in-
terpreter at the Paris Peace
Conferences that year. During
n; S. S
the next two decades he trav-
eled extensively abroad.
His travels throughout India
evoke the comment of "highly ex-
citing" from Prof. Talamon.
According to Prof. Talamon,
teaching can be a hobby rather
than a chore. His congenial wit in
conducting classes has long proved
to students that laughs and les-
sons can go hand in hand.
ESPECIALLY well known to
French scholars is his course in
Moliere, the 17th century dramat-
ist. Students swear he's at his dra-
matic best when voicing the woes
of Harpagon, famous miser of
"L'Avare," or echoing the pleas of
a Molieresque heroine, prevented
by her stern "papa" from marry-
ing the man she loves.
Whether in class or informally
at "La P'tite Causette," conver-
sations with Prof. Talamon are
as informative as they are en-
tertaining.
This trip to France marks the
professor's first journey abroad in
10 years. When asked of his plans,
he shrugged his shoulders, saying:
"Now that I'm as free as air, I'll
see what France looks and feels
like before deciding what to do."

Members of the University stu-

ticipate in the conference.
