Bay City Times-Tribune-The depthj
of Dr. Marion Leroy Burton, fifth
president of the University of Michi-

to good citizenship, to righteousness
and to the welfare of budding man-

the nation. * * * * No honor that Michi-
gan can pay will be too high for
President Burton. The news of his
death will carry a shock in thousands

learned either through peisonal con-
tact or the written word to admire
this great man and his great under-
