Memorial Number Will Open Program;
Selections From Vrieg And

Guy Meier, Lee Pattison, and Arthur
Shattuck, widely known American
pianists, will appear tomorrow even-
ing in Hill auditorium with the De-
troit symphony orchestra, playing se-
lections upon three pianos. Extensive
tours have been made throughout the
leading cities of America by Mr. Maier
and Mr. Pattison, who have been con-
sidered outstanding artists bycritics
everywhere.
The program will be opened with a
memorial to the late President Marion
L. Burton, the funeral music from
Wagner's "Gotteramerdung." The
popular Peer Gynt suite from Grieg
will ,also be offered, in additon to a
Beethoven symphony, and concertos
from Bach and Liszt.
Quotations from the Detroit Free
Press make the following comments
upon a recent Maier-Pattison concert
given in Orchestra hall. "Mr. Maier
and Mr. Pattison have set a distinct
standard in their ensemble work. Not
only is their extraordinary unanimity
so far as technical matters are con-
cerned most remarkable, but sensative
to each other's thought and aesthetic
side they have developed a perfection
and brilliance of performance which
would seem unattainable. The two.
grand pianos facing each other are
under their hands but one superb in-
strument. They present numbers of
fine contrast, the delicacy and quaint
charm of the Bach' work standing out
against the' more spirited, colorful
Liszt composition. The latter has
been especially arranged and orches-
trated by Mr. Pattison and the power
and exhilaration of the reading given
it brought a great demonstration from
the audience."
These three artists have all been
heard previously in Ann Arbor, and
have favorably impressed the popu-
lace as well as the press.!
GRADUA TES OF
MICHIGAN LEAD
AS PROFESSORS
Graduates of the University have
taken leading positions in the profes-
sorial field over the entire country,
according to Dean John Effinger of
the literary college. Princeton uni-
versity is one of the foremost exam-
ples of this, he believes.
Among the leaders in the various
scholastic fields there, are found six'
graduates of Michigan. Christian
Gauss, '99, is head of the Romance
language department and dean-elect
of the school. Professor Gauss was
born in this city and was also an in-
structor in the University for several
years.
Two brothers, Duane R. and Donald
C. Stuart, both graduates of this insti-
tution, also hold professorships there.
Duane R. Stuart, '96, is a professor in
the Latin department, having former-
ly alsoserved as an assistant profes-
sor here. Donald C. Stuart, '03, is a
professor of dramatic literature at
that college.
Charles R Morey, '99, is a professor
of art and archaeology there while
Edward S. Corwin, '00 is a professor
of jurisprudence. When the latter
graduated from Michigan he was
president of his class, being first cal-
led to Princeton by Woodrow Wilson
in 1905.
Another of the leading Michigan
names on the Princeton faculty list is
that of Frank H. Dixon, '92, professor
of economics. He served here as as-
sistant professor of political economy
from 1897 to 1898.
London society women who follow-
ed the dictates of fashion and wore
low heeled shoes are returning to
high heels again, say fashion writers.
Wearers of the ?ow heels have not
only lost some of their ankle charm,
but have suffered from "ankle neu-
ralgia."

Following the interment he issued
the following statement for publica-

Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.-An In-I
tention to invite the nations of the
world to join the United States in ob-
servance of the 200th anniversary of
the birth of George Washington in
1932 was announced tonight by Presi-
dent Coolidge on behalf of the com-
mission recently appointed to arrange
for the celebration.
Setting for the purposes for whichJ
the commission was created, the Pres-
ident in his statement, issued on thek
eve of Washington's birthday ,declar-
ed that "for the present it is impossi-
ble more specifically to suggest thet
purposes and character of the com-
memoration which it is purposed to
arrange."
"The 200th anniversary of General
Washington's birth will be an occa-
sion of such significance not only to
our own country but to the entire
world that it is manifestly fitting that
the American nation should appropri-
ately observe it," the President said.
"But beyond this it is felt that as
the life, the career and the achieve-
ments belong, not to a single nation,j
but to all humanity, it is proper that
the nation founded under his leader-!
ship should invite all other nations
and peopes to join in tbe observance
of this anniversary. The character,
the effort and th achievements o
Washington have made an impres-
sio upon the whole world as pro-
found as to have effected the varied1
course of history and to have touched
the lives of all who today live in thisI
world."

FLANKS ROUTE
OF PROCESSION
Marked by the silent reverence due
their great leader, thousands of stu-
dents shoulder to shoulder, flanked
both sides of the streets leading from
the Burton home to the final resting
place of the late President in For-
est Hill cemetery.
Students who daily crossed the
campus in high spirits stood with un-
covered heads as the cortege passed.
Many times had some of these stu-
dents stood with uncovered heads
while he had passed. But yesterday,
for the last time, with grieving hearts
and saddened faces, they came to hon-
or him who came nearest fulfilling
their ideal of a man.
After the cortege had passed, the
line was broken, and in groups of
twos and threes they slowly wandered
away, dazed by the realization that
they had paid their last respects to
Marion LeRoy Burton.
FUNERAL LINE
FORMS GREAT
HUMAN CROSS
Few of the mourners who witnessed
the funeral procession as it left the
Burton residence yesterday realized
that for a brief moment a large hu-
man cross was formed, with the hon-
orary pallbearers and the casket form-.
ing the two ends of the cross section,
extending from the steps of the resi-
dence to the hearse, and the line of
friends and former associates formed
along the sidewalk of South Univers-
ity avenue representing the support-
ing staff of the cross.
As the casket was lifted to the I
shoulders of the eight student pll-
bearers, the entire procession paused
for a moment, making this last and
highest tribute that can be paid toJ
man.

By Robert S. Mansfield
Under skies of leaden gray, while all nature seemed to halt its rest-
less motion, the earthly remains of President Marion LeRoy Burton were
laid to rest yesterday. Supported by her two children, Paul and Jane, the
bereaved widow-stood with bowed head as the last words of the beautifully
simple ceremony were spoken over the bier of her husband.
At the house which sheltered the President during his long illness
were gathered those who had known him best-those whose association
with the great man had brought them to love him. Sober, drawn faces
marked with a grief too poignant for

GATHER AT LUNCHEON
Many of the prominent men of the
state who attended the funeral serv-
ices of President Marion L. Burton
gathered for a luncheon at the Union
preceding the ceremony. Among these
were Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck and
Lieut.-Gov. Welsh who motored from
Detroit with George Haggerty, Wayne
county road commissioner. Mr. Welsh
came from his home in Grand Rapids
to Detroit yesterday morning.
Seven men from the state senate
drove from Lansing this morning.
These were Senators Frank P. Bohn
of Newberry, Burney Brower of Jack-
son, George Hunter of St. Johns,
Frank L. Young of Lansing, Harvey
Penney of Saginaw, Alonzo B. Green
of Hillman, and Eliza B. Howarth of
Royal Oak. These men made up the
special committee appointed by the
senate to represent that body officially
at the services.
Seven men also attended the lunch-
eon representing the lower house.
They were: Reps. Loomis K. Preston
of St. Joseph, Milton R. Palmer ;o1
Detroit, Miles S. Curtis of Battle
Creek, Douglas Black of Twining, Al-
i bert E. Van Every of Petoskey, Fred-
'erick Wade of Sagatuck, and David F.
Morrison of Gernfast.
Regents of the University also at-
,tended the luncheon, they being Junius
1 E. Beal of Ann Arbor, Ralph Stone of,
r tears thronged the rooms which had
voices was heard-a solemn and dig-
nified silence paying tribute in toe
highest sense to the greatness of the
dead.
As the last words of the impressive
benediction which concluded the ser-
vice at the house died away, the
mourners rose, and with welling
hearts moved silently from the house.
There was no music; no solemn fun-
eral strains sounded as the casket
bearing the body of President Burton
was lifted and borne out through the
door within hte view of the thousands
who were gathered in respectful sor-
row before the house.
As the casket was lifted to the
shoulders of the student pallbearers
the chimes of Michigan tolled the half
hour, sounding a fitting requiem for
the man whose living ears they had
so often delighted.
The rain had stopped, and with it
every vestige of breeze as the pall-
bearers moved down the walk between
the lines formed by the honorary
pallbearers and members of the Leg-
islative committee. Overhead from
their bare branches the trees which
have looked down upon entering and
leaving Presidents of the University
since 1840 bowed in last farewell upon
the casket which bore the body of
Michigan's greatest President to its
last resting place.
The gray arch of the sky formed a
perfect canopy-the tinge of mourn-
ing black softly miked with the white
promise of the future in a softly
blended tint-colorless, but with the
hope of color.
Between rows of students standing
bareheaded on the curbs, the line of
cars bearing the mourners to the
cemetery moved slowly away from the
house. Faces stamped with sorrow
showed through the windows of the
cars, and the recognized loss to the
University was plain to be seen on
the faces of those who lined the route.
Up, beneath the murmuring ever-
greens which stirred softly in a new-
risen breeze, up along the winding
road into the cemetery the line mov-
ed. Up, until the topmost point was
reached; and there stopped. The cas-
ket was laid upon the bronze plat-
form, banked with floral tributes. The
bereaved family moved forward, stand-
ing firmly, although visibly shaken,
with bowed heads while the last words
were spoken.
As silence fell again, they turned,
and were escorted back to their car.
Quietly the crowd dispersed, going
their several ways mute, and yet feel-
ing to the full the hope promised in
the simple words. It was over. The
first of Michigan's Presidents to give
his life in her service lay at rest to
watch from above the consummation
in the years to come of all his hopes
and dreams for the greatness of
Michigan'
In the prayer pronounced by Rever-
end Lloyd C. Douglas during the ser-
vices at the house was a quotation
from his invocation at the first com-
mencement -address delivered at
Michigan by President Burton. It had

at that time,-so much so that he re-
quested that a copy of it be given him
to keep. The quotation was: "Thou
dost write in characters too large for
our understanding, who see but brok-

With the stroke of 2 o'clock the
voice of the Reverend Douglas rose in
the opening words of the burial ser-
vice. Strong and with beautiful fer-
vor, his voice carried the solemn
words of comfort and hope to the
group who sat with bowed heads in
dry-eyed grief at the passing of their
friend and leader.
"I am the ressurection and the Life,
saith the Lord." The words broke
the silence with deep sonorous pow-
