0 SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1925 THE MICHIGAN DAILY _ A' THR1EN Curzon's Death Robs Britain Of Leader, - Cross In the death of Lord Curzon Eng- land loses a tireless and devoted Pub- lie servant, who was much of a schol- ar. in the estimation of Prof. Arthur 1. Cross, of the English history de- partment.Curzon, Professor Cross said, accomplished a tremendous amount in his sixty-six years. "Although he held the title of Mar- quis," the professor continued, "he also had inherited the title of Baron Scarsdale, which had originated in the eighteenth century, and which had been passed to him from his father, who was of the Holy Orders. "Ile was educated at Eaton, one of England's most aristocratic schools, and also attended one of Oxford's most intellectual schools. le served his political apprenticeship as pri- vate secretary to the great Marquis of Salisbury, who was three times the conservative prime minister. IHe was also under-secretary of state as well as secretary of foreign affairs. He was Viceroy of India, too, and twice was president of the British council. "From 1919 to 1923 Curzon held the secretaryship of foreign affairs, and in the last Baldwin ministry he was relegated to the dignified but inactive position of President of the Council." Professor Cross enumerated "Russia and Central Asia," "Persia and the Per- sian Question," and "University Re- forms" among the books that the Marquis had written. In an educa- tional way Curzon was lord-director of Glasgow university in 1908 and Chancellor of Oxford in 1907, both honorary positions, Professor Cross pointed out. Among the degrees Curzon held was that of Fellow of the Royal society.j "It is interesting to note," Professor Cross went on, "that both of Curzon's wives were American, the first being the daughter of L. Zliter, a finaci- or. and the second the daughter of J. M. Hinds, our minister to Brazil." Professor Cross explained that when Curzon was Viceroy of India he had locked horns with Lord Kitchener, and gave the impression that he had difficulty in getting along with oth- ers. This, it was pointed out, may have only been a mannerism. "It was natural to expect that Cur- zon would succeed Bonar Law, but partly due to his mannerism and to the fact that he was of the aristo- cracy, he did not secure the office. Al- though he continued in an important place in Baldwin's first ministry Professor Cross concluded, "Baldwin p-referred Austin Chamberlain for the secretary's position in his second min- istry and Curzon was made president of the Council" Faculty Man Wins Prize For Research Publication of his winning book and a cash prize of $1,500 has been awarded Dr. John Alexander of the Medical school by the Philadelphia Academy of Surgery, under the terms of a quinquennial prize established by Samuel D.
