A POOR l C MAN

Materially successful as was Frank A. Munsey's career. it
was starkly barren in another phase-he had neither wife nor
children. When this man of great wealth and amazing achieve
ments confronted the episode of death, there was none to ease
his passing, to comfort the departing soul with the balm of
martial n hhal affections solicitude. About his deathbed were
only business associates and persons present in purely profess
slonal capacities. He was denied the consolation of realization
that, diving, he yet would live on vicariously through consanguin-
Ity. With him persisted representation by his blood of the name
which ne had made famous. He founded a fortune but not a
family, vast as was his material wealth he was as poor as the
poorest IN his lack of marital or congenital relationships.
Why did this remarkable man not marry? Was it an IRONY

The past year holds the record over any previous year for
federal aid on highways. 1929 miles were completed. The
previous high year mark was a little less than 10000 miles. The
mileage that has been completed since 1917 totals 46,486 miles.
The hgures given for the year just passed account only for
those portions which are entirely completed. They do not en-
brace road building activities that are still in progress. There
are stretches yet to be finished that have a total length of
12A63 miles. The work just ended represents an approximate
cost OF two hundred and forty-three million dollars, of which one
hundred and eleven million dollars were paid by the United
States government. Since 1917 the Government has furnished
three hundred and seventy-three million dollars as it's portion
of the road work.

Marion LIE Roy Burton

Within a lfespan of but fifty years the principal Of Win
dom Institute, a professor at Yale, the pastor of a Brooklyn
church and latterly president of three of the nations greatest
educational institutions, Marion Leroy Burton died recently,
laden as no other man of his years with the honors of leader
ship in American education. In like measure great was the
promise of future attainment now revoked and cut untimely
short by his passing. Calvin Coolidge, a man of thirtyeight, be-
came mayor of Northampton in the same year when Marion
Burton, a man of thirtysiN, became president of Smith College.
That was in 1910. One year before, when DR.. Burton was named
Smiths presidentelect, he was the youngest man who had
ever held such office in any American college of comparable
rank and Importance. Yet his career at Smith fulfilled in
every way the trust of confidence in the maturity and force
of his judgment which the trustees and alumnae, reposed in
him. In 1917 DIR. Burton returned to the west where he was
born and where he first served as a teacher. He was president
of the University of Minnesota from 1917 to 1920. 1t was then
that he took the office which he held at the time of his death,
the presidency of the University of Michigan.
At Ann Arbor DIR. Burton has led the university through
the most important period of material expansion which this in.
stitution has ever known. Thanks to the faith and prestige
inspired by his leadership, the Michigan legislature voted TO
the university in 1920 the largest appropriation ever made,
until that time, by any legislature to any state college
~$23,500000. This, with other large public appropriations and
private gifts, enabled President Burton to accomplish an un.
paralleled building program, from the important new hospital
of the medical school, which he put in the hands of DR.. Hugh
Cabot, TO a new engineering building, an administration build
ing, n model high school and a physics building.
But it was not DIR. Burtons material achievements that
made him great. All those who heard or read his speech at the
Cleveland convention, placing his friend, Calvin Coolidge, in
nomination for the presidency Of the United States, know full
well what were the qualities of DR.. Burtonis moral and spirit
ual nature. They dominated his life. They dominate the public's
regret for his death.
