Editor's Note: The Daily is
omitting its regular columns of
editorials in order that editorial
tributes to President Burton,
clipped from the metropolitan and
college papers of the nation, may
be published. He had achieved so
great a fame as an educator, ad-
ministrator, and orator that his
untimely death has caused much
comment. No greater tribute to
the deceased can be paid.
