Detroit, Feb. 20. - "My only policy after July It as president of the Uni- versity, will be to watch the wheels of the University go around," said President-elect Marion L. Burton to- night in one of the most inspiring talks ever given before a University group, wen he spoke to about 200 prominent alumni of the University at the fore- most testimonal dinner given in' his honor at the Detroit Athletic club. "The University does not need a major operation," he stated. "Clear Thinking Needed" Dr. Burton spoke at some length on the problems of the day, stating that the universities must take caie of the thousands of students who are flock- ing to them today. "Clear thinking is needed iroday, far more than before," said the future Michigan' president.' 'Democracy not only gives but de- mands - and demands intelligence. The future of America depends upon co-operation of the intellectual men of the country and the conservative labor leaders. Superficial thinking is the greatest fault in America today," he said. That Americans should have a sa- cred regard for the ballot box and that the greatest asset was our wealth of relationship with one another, were other points that Dr. Burton empha- sized. Michigan Cosmopolitan President Hutchins also spoke, and; he gave reasons which he thought brought Dr. Burton to Michigan. The strategic position of the University, being the center of the Middle West, and the fact that students come froml both the East and West, making the University the most cosmopolitani school in the country, were important factors in securing Michigan's new president, stated President Hutchins.

I PROF. ISAAC N. DEMMON DEMMON RESICNS FAUTY POSITION IResignation of Oldest Professor Ac- eepted by Board of Regents^ HOLDS CHAIR IN ENGLISH DEPARTMENT SINCE 1880 S/ With keen regret, and with sincere. appreciation of his services to the' University, the Board of Regents at their meeting Friday accepted the res- ignation of the oldest professor on the carpus-Isaac Newton Demmon. The Regents also recommended Professor Demmon's appointment to .the Carne- gie Foundation, to which he is now eligible. With the exception of Prof. Wooster W. Beman, Professor Demmon has been on the campus longer than any living faculty member, his title to the oldest. professor being due to the fact that he was appointed to full profes- sorship before Professor Beman. Aided Library Collections Professor Demmon, besides occupy- ing a chair in the English department, has since 1880 been a member of the library committee of the Faculty and has devoted a large part of his time to bibliographical studies aid to the development of various collections of the University, notably the dramatic collection and the McMillan Shake- speare library. In addition to being a expert bibliographer, Professor Demmon is an authority on rare books. He is the editor of the "History of the University of Michigan," complet- jng the work of Prof. Burke A. Hins- dale, who died before the volume had teen finished. Parents 'Wef Pioneers Isaac Newton Demmnon was born at Northfield, Ohio, in 1842, the eldest sn of Leonard and Nancy Demmon. Leonard Demmon settled on the West- ern Reserve in 1838, but -seeking an outdoor life, and having acquired lands in Indiand, he removed there wn.h his wife and two children in the fall of 1844. The son thus grew up with his full 'share of pioneer experi- ences He received such training as the county district school could offer, and at the age of 11 was sent to a private school in a little vilage three miles away. He made the trip to and from school on foot each day, progressing so rapidly with his work that by his 15th year he was prepared to enter t!e University of Michigan. Graduated in 1868 Largeness of family and the neces- sity of work on the farm prevented his entering college until his legal manhood, in 1863. His scholastic ca- reer was interrupted by his enlistment in the 132nd Indiana infantry d n 1864. He was graduated from Michi- gan in 186. The degree of Master of Arts was awarded him three years later. He was married in 1871 to Miss Emma Regal. A professorship at Hiram college and the principalship at Ann Arbor high school were his services before entering the Uiliver- sity as assistant professor of rhetoric and history in 1876. Since 1903 Professor Demmon has been Professor of English and also holds the title of Curator of rare books. Soph Leaves To Enter Business Myron Broekema, '22, has left the University in order to accept a posi- tion under A. Stein & Co., of Chicago, as assistant factory manager. Broe- Ijema was a staff photographer on the 1920 Michiganensian. His home is in Evanston, Ill. FARMERS TO TAKE PART IN CAMPAIGN W~hington,, Feb. 20. - With the ap- pointment of a committee of seven prominent farm organization leaders to draw up a platform, the American farmer, as represented through the national board of farm organizations, served notice today on present and prospective presidential candidates that it determined to participate ac- tively in the coming campaign. The platform will comprise questions de- signed to bring out unmistakably the attitude of each candidate upon mat- ters which agriculturalists consider of paramount importance. C. S. Barrett, of Georgia, president of the National Farmers' union, was made chairman of 'the committee. "The committee," Chairman Barrett said, "will demand a most compre- hensive and unmistakable statement of the position of each candidate on questions especially relating' to agri- culture. The farmers will not submit to comflagouge; moreover, the commit- tee will try to determine, before sub- mitting its finding to the farmers, just what ability a candidate may have to cal'ry out his pre-election promises. We must get behi d a strong, faithful man. None other will do.".. The conference adopted resolutions making the early appointment of the American #delegation to the 'intemna- strong, faithful man. None other will Rome.

While further exchanges on the sub- ject are expected, it is believed that with the delivery of- the. note, the question will have been removed from the argumentative stage. Although the premiers have for- warded to Jugo-Slavia in the form of an ultimatum the settlement arried at without barticipation of the United States, it is said they have not closed the way to a return to the private agreement of Dec. 9.Ito which the United States was a party.
