te 6 OYEE HO HA WORKED AT THE UNIVERSITY THE LONs
Afer6 year s, the organist plays on

After 60 years of teaching at the
University, School of Music Prof.
Marilyn Mason has a long list of
accomplishments.
Mason was the first female
organist to perform at Westminster
Abbey. She performed at the Notre
Dame Cathedral in Paris. She has
traveled to Brazil, Colombia and
Egypt teachingthe organ.
And Mason has worked at the
University longer than any other
employee, according to data pro-
vided by the University's Office of
Human Resources.
James Craven, a conservator in
the Bentley Historical Library, is
the second-most veteran Univer-
sity employee. He has worked at the
University for 58 years.
Although Mason, the chair of
the University's organ department,
has worked at the University since
before many of her students' par-
ents were born, she said she has no

intention to retire.
Mason said she has witnessed
many changes to campus and the
city of Ann Arbor since she first
came to the University as an under-
graduate. For example, there are
far more coffee houses along State
Street than there were when she
first came, she said.
Mason said she has loved Ann
Arbor ever since she walked down
State Street during her first night in
town.
She said students have changed
considerably since she first started
teaching in 1947. Mason said many
of her first pupils were World War
II veterans studying at the Univer-
sity under the GI Bill.
It was while teaching at the Uni-
versity in the late 1940s that Mason
met her first husband, a fellow pro-
fessor who had recently returned
from wartime service.
Mason said today's students take

School of Music Prof. Marilyn Mason at her organ on Friday.
Mason has worked at the University since 1947, longer than any
other employee. She said she does not have plans to retire.
