THEMICHIGANDAILV Prof. Talamon Plans Return to France UNESCO Meeting Scheduled Preston To The Michigan Preliminary Com-" mittee for UNESCO will meet here Representatives of state schools Thursday to plan specific activi- colleges and civil and educational By DON KOTITE and HERB ROVNER 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." ties for a state organization to support the United Nations edu- cational program, according to Prof. William Clark Trow of the education school and chairman of the Committee. organizations will attend the two general sessions and several group meetings at Rackham.
