material by 1938.
In'that year however the Fed-

grams. And so, as a linguistics
expert, he was chosen to develop
a system which would provide an
intensive English language course
based on the techniques which
had been developed in linguistics.

Language Institute,
But delivering this project from

'ries points out that 85%
secondary school students

and that there are ap-
ately 40,000 English teach-

een his far-'eastern jaunts,

The time was certainly well-
spent, however. Today, Prof. Fries
notes, "there are many places
throughout the world where the.
University is known as the 'In-'
stitute.'" Its work, he adds, is
based on the principle that "the
way in which language uses the
raw materials of sound varies from
language to language." The insti-
tute, which now also turns out,
English teachers from all over the
world, consequently adapts its ma-
terials and methods to the prob-
lems of each individual language.
And still another highlight to
the' professor's career, which will
still require his care, was first be-
gun in 1928, when he was asked
by the Clarendon Press at Oxford
University to become editor of an
Early Modern English Dictionary.
Other Interests
The cheerful gentleman has a
completely different side to his
active life. He serves as an official
at Michigan, Big Ten and na-
tion'al swimming meets as well as
personally competing in water
pold three timies a week with fel-
low members of the faculty Floun-
ders' Club. Part of the reason for
this somewhat contrasting interest
is revealed by the bright twinkle
in his eye as he speaks of his sons

on Michigan's swimming team.
One, Chuck, was team captain in
1944 and another, Pete, is a main-
stay on this year's championship
outfit. A third son, Bob, he hastens
to include, is also an excellent
swimmer, but attended an Eastern
college where swimming was not
sponsored. But the professor's in-
terest goes even deeper than that.
Exercises a Necessity
In the first place he feels that
"everyone should get regular phy-
sical exercise."
The Fries family, which' also
Includes two girls, took up swim-
ming as a family sport, Prof. Fries
says "because in other sports chil-
dren are just tolerated, but in
swimming they can participate on
an equal level." All of his children'
learned to swim at least by the
time they were four years old.,
Swims Before Walking
In fact, Pete learned to swim
before he could walk as he was
the subject of a chapter dealing
with younger children in a book on
swimming written by Prof. Fries
and former Michigan swimming
coach Matt Mann.
Ironically, Prof. Fries never
competed in the sport at college.
He graduated from Bucknell in
1909, where he participated in
football and baseball. But he points
out that at that time swimming
was not a generally recognized
sport in intercollegiate circles.
It was also at Bucknell that
Prof. Fries met his wife and they
have been married for 38 years.
Well, anyway at the end of last
semester Prof. Fries retired. But
Mrs. Fries, the Japanese English
Language Exploratory Committee,
certain publishing houses, swim-.
mers, officials and water polo
competitors don't believe it.

The University's School of Ar-
chitecture and Design will sponsor
an open house Friday and Satur-
day, May 9 and 10, according to
Keith Brown, '58A&D, publicity
chairman.
The event which will be spon-
sored by the students, faculty
members and administrators of
the college is being planned to
acquaint the University and the
state with the work being done in
architecture and design.
It is also intended to give stu-
dents and faculty members an op-
portunity to learn what is done in
the other departments of the
college such as city planning, land-
scape architecture, ceramics, ad-
vertising design and painting.
The first day of the open house
on May 9 will be devoted to a
reception, sale of art works, and
the formal opening of the ex-
