By MICHAEL HARRAH
Since each of the eight members
of the Regents serve the University
and the people of Michigan with-
out compensation, each must take
time out from his or her particu-
lar profession in the interests of
higher education.
Six of the eight Regents are
graduates of the University and
they all hold a variety of honors
and degrees.
The senior member of the Board
and chairman of the group in its
executive sessions, Eugene B.
Power of Ann Arbor was elected
in 1955 on the Democratic ticket.
He received a masters degree in
business administration from the
University in 1930, after which he
was associated with Edwards
Brothers, Inc., of Ann Arbor until
1938, when he founded University
Microfilms.
Carl Brablec of Roseville was
elected in 1957 as a Democrat. He
received his masters degree from
the University and has been super-
intendent of schools in Roseville
since 1947.
He is also a graduate of Eastern
Michigan University at Ypsilanti,
and has attended Charles Univer-
sity in Prague, the University of
Chicago, Michigan State Univer-
sity and Northwestern University.
Masters in Sociology
Irene E. Murphy of Birmingham
received her masters degree in
sociology from the University in
1928. The widow of Harold J. Mur-
phy, she was elected to the Board
as a Democrat inT 1957.
Regent Murphy has directed the
case work program for the City of
Detroit's Public Welfare Depart-
ment and~ was also active in the.
Philippines where she organized
postwar relief centers.
Donale M. D. Thurber of Grosse
Pointe, a Democrat, was appointed
in 1958 to fill the vacancy created
when Paul Adams was named
Attorney General for the State of
Michigan.
He is a graduate of Harvard
University and currently serves as
secretary-treasurer of Public Re-
lations Counselors, Inc., and as

he retired.
He was elected to the Board in
1959, and he currently serves as
director of American Metal Pro-
ducts, Detroit Bank and Trust

To Hear Talk
By Schriever
Air Force General Bernard
Schriever will address the first
Engineering Honors Convocation
ever held at the University at
10:15 a.m. tomorrow in the Rack-
ham Lecture Hall.
Schriever, who is Commander
of the Air Force Systems Com-
mand and the officer responsible
for the Air Force's development of
long-range missiles, will speak on
"Today's Engineering Challenge."

Everyone "in the know," musi-
cally speaking, is quick to label
Hungarian-born pianist Gyorgy
Sandor as a "Bartok specialist,"
it seems--everyone, that is, except
Sandor himself.
"In this age of 'specialization,'
everyone 'has to be a specialist in
something'," said Sandor, who is
now in residence at the University:
"I myself am anything but a spe-
cialist." Yet Sandor and Bela
Bartok seem inseparable to many.
This is understandable, as it
was Sandor who premiered Bar-
tok's Third Piano Concerto with'
Eugene Ormandy and the Phila-
delphia Orchestra in January,
1946. The same organization ac-
companied Sandor when he per-
formed Bartok's Second Piano
Concerto at the 1958 May Festival.
Premiered Piano Version
Furthermore, it was Sandor who
premiered the piano version of
Bartok's "Dance Suite" (originally
an orchestral work) in Carnegie
Hall (1945). Predictably then,
Sandor has also committed to
records Bartok's entire piano rep-
ertory.
Sandor disclaimed the term
"Bartok specialist," however, say-
ing that he merely plays what is
most frequently asked of him; and
because of his impressive back-
ground in the repertory of that
composer, he is perhaps all too'
frequentlycalled upon to perform
Bartok's compositions. However,
his repertoire also includes con-'
certi by Beethoven, Liszt, Mozart,j
Rachmaninoff and others.
Sandor has not abandoned his
concert and recording career in]
accepting his current post as di-
rector of the doctoral program in
music here. Of his pedagogical
position, he said, "One acquires1
invaluable experience from con-
certizing, and it is gratifying to
be able to pass it on and to con-
tribute to others' knowledge."
Contemporary Music3
Regarding the broad field oft
contemporary music, it is na-
tural that Sandor should hold1
much affection for his countrymen
Bartok and Zoltan Kodaly. "There
are only a handful of great com-
posers from our century," he re-
plied. To the two noted Hun-
garians above, he added Igor

ment. Or rather, it should be
said that President Hutchins
wrote the letters and the War
Department issued edicts. It
seems the government wanted
to institute a military program
that would have removed the
control of the University from
local hands, and President
Hutchins wasn't about to stand
for it. And stand for it he did
not. The Army backed down.
But soon even the Great War
was over, and it left President
Hutchins visibly aged. Upon
retirement of President Angell,
President Hutchins made an
agreement with the Regents:
He would serve only five years.
Now, in 1919, he had served
already five years more. In
March, he handed in his letter
of resignation.
The Regents, as they had
with the Great War, tried to
ignore it. President Hutchins
agreed to stay until a successor
could be found, and he made
sure that the Regents kept
looking too.
* * *
IT TOOK TWO YEARS, but
at last Harry Burns Hutchins,
who had ascended to the presi-
dency with only a bachelor's
degree, stepped down with four
doctorates of law-from the

University of Wisconsin, the
University of California, Wes-
leyan University at Water-
town, and the University of
Notre Dame.
The University had been so
busy with the Great War that
it had neglected its own presi-
dent. Somewhat belatedly, it
added its own doctorate to his
list of honors.
So in 1921, Harry Burns
Hutchins, who had stipulated at
the outset he would only serve
five years, was able to retire,
because after a long search, the
Regents had found a satis-
factory replacement.
They stumbled on him quite
by accident, for they had not
considered him at first. With
some trepidation they called
him, he came, and he stayed.
And because of that, the Uni-
versity of Minnesota was sud-
denly without a president--he
had left for Ann Arbor.
Marion LeRoy Burton was a
worker; he toiled for the Uni-
versity day and night for four
short but fruitful years. He lit-
erally worked himself to death,
for he collapsed after introduc-
ing a guest lecturer in Hill Aud.
in October of 1924.
He was confined to his bed
throughout the winter, and
there he died early in 1925. The
Regents were hard-pressed to
find a successor.

GYORGY SANDOR
.Bartok pupil

Stravinsky among others. "There
is good music and bad music, so
that the era in which the in usic
was written is not important," he
said.
Of electronic music, he said that
it is an acceptable medium, but
he did not go so far as to agree
with the term "music" as applic-
able to this controversial art.
It is not true, as is commonly
thought, that Sandor was a "pro-
tege of Bartok." He explained the
difference between being a pro-
tege and a pupil, saying that he
was only a pupil of Bartok be-
cause he never lookedrto Bartok
for sponsorship.
Great Composer
Sandor spoke further of Bartok
himself as a great pianist annd
composer, saying, "Bartok is the
most significant and the only
consistently great composer of this
century."
He was an outstanding folklorist
and musicologist, and he spoke not
only 14 languages but their various
dialects as well. He is, however,
most vividly remembered as a
composer. His "Concerto for Or-
chestra" and "Music for Strings,
Percussion and Celesta" are two
of his most popular works.
Sandor will perform Richard
Strauss' "Burleske" with Eugene
Ormandy and the Philadelphia
Orchestra May 6 as part of the
May Festival series of concerts.
