He was elected member of the French Academy on May 22, 1930 in the chair of Georges Clemenceau. He acquired a great influence there, making and unmaking elections.[1] With the advent of the Vichy regime in 1940, André Chaumeix, along with the majority of academics, became a supporter of Marshal Pétain and of state collaboration.[2] In 1941, he wrote a programmatic article in the Revue des deux mondes in favor of the National Revolution: "[Petain] wanted to revive the healthy customs (...) that a senseless policy had banished for forty years and more. He endorsed in choice terms the brand new policy of collaboration announced at Montoire: "France is an indispensable part of Europe (...) No one knows what the future world will be. It is possible that we will have to fulfill a useful and active mission. We will only fulfill it if we are a renewed nation"[3]
