The professor has been invited to the University of Tokyo to give a seminar in American Philosophy.1 "It's part of an arrangement with Stanford University by which five seminars in American Studies are being offered at the Japanese uni-., versity," he explained. Actually, the teaching job is also an excuse for the Frankena f amily to have an interesting sum- mer vacation sightseeing, for Mrs. Frankena and the children will accompany the philosophy depart- ment chairman. "And they cer- tainly deserve it," added the pro- fessor with a smile. Family Works for Trip The Frankena household has been the scene of much activity since they decided to make the trip a family affair. Mrs. Frankena has done substitute teaching dur- ing the past year to earn extra money. Quiet, mild - mannered Prof. Frankena is a kind of campus leg- end. He is soft-spoken with an al- most monotoned voice and a com- plete lack of effectual mannerisms. And although fortyish, he still has a boyish appearance. Yet, when he speaks, his words have a quietly dynamic sort of authority that quickly captures the listener's at- tention. Nationally Acknowledged The professor is nationally known as a philosopher. He has written essays for a number of books and is a constant contributor of articles and reviews to philo- sophical journals. This teaching invitation is not a surprise to those familiar with his fine background.) As to why the seminars' in To- kyo are being offered, "I suppose the idea is to represent steps of US~ea 0010 Celebrates Into EclipseMe On June30 75th Anniversary on Campus A rare astronomical phenome- sun to occur in the United StatesB e a i . since 1945, will be seen on June 30. sh The moon will completely con- ceal the brightness of the sun and thus cause a total eclipse, which Of Novice Choral Union will affect the areas of the north- e peninsul of Michin, Minne- All "life begins at 40" propaganda to the contrary, seven and a sad Minapolis e Shalf decades is usually considered a ripe old "over the bill" age for anything but a professor.

"But I know of no par- ticular effort to sell America in any way." Sometime near the middle of June the famhily will leave Ann Ar- bor in a station wagon. They are delivering it, to friends in Alaska, from where they will take a plane to Tokyo. On the journey through Canada, the Frankenas will camp outdoors, cooking their meals along the scenic routes. No Time for Sightseeing Once in Japan, "I'm afraid the family won't like it too much," stated the professor. "I'll have to teach and there won't be much time for sightseeing. But we plan to do as much as possible." The seminar will last from July 6 to August 20. The first week will consist of conferences with Jap- anese philos'ophers. Then comes a four-week seminar in American philosophy. Although he is not particularly interested in Japa- nese philosophy at present, the professor feels that he probably will be after the trip. The final week of the seminar will be spent at a mountain resort. The students, graduates or begin- ning teachers, will have further conferences with Prof. Frankena.
