He was very activein the Baptist Educational Societyand was president of their board,having to do with a large numberof colleges and academies. He wentto China a number of years ago tostudy educational conditions iorthe Rockefeller Foundation. Hehas been there many times sincerepresenting various missionary andeducational institutions.He has rendered great service toeducation throughout the world. Hewas intensely interested in the de¬velopment of the University and hada large vision of its future. He wasan eminent scholar in his field, aman whom we all loved and trustedbeyond all words. The announce¬ment of his death comes as a greatshock to me personally and as a greatloss to the University and the cityof Chicago.Dean Marion A. TalbotDean Marion A. Talbot: “TheUniversity has been fortunate in hav¬ing as its leader a man marked by lib¬erality of thought and generosity ofjudgment.

In the calm of alittle Massachusetts town he would,seek out the meaning of a Greek word,and the fine shades of sense that cen¬turies of history had given it, or hewould study to find what Englishword would best express its thought.Learning for its own sake was hischosen pursuit.At sixty-eight this same scholar satin an office on the Midway and de¬vised budgets, plans of capitalization,re-financing, and building. Drawingsof lofty halls lay on his desk. Blue¬prints awaited his correction. Mem¬oranda were heaped in great stacks.Yet he was the scholar still, with thepursuit of learning for its own sakestill first in his Mind and his zeal forthe study of New Testament Greeknever for a moment stifled.Change Is PuzzlingSo great a change is puzzling. Thepersistence of a scholar s vigor,through such a change, is more puz¬zling. One who talked with the Presi¬dent a short time before his illnesswondered about these things and put some questions to him. He asked whatmental change so great a transfercauses. He asked how a mind can beadjusted to bear such a new load, with¬out yielding under its anxieties.“Rather personal questions,” wasPresident Burton’s comment. The in¬terviewer pointed out, though, thatthey were really impersonal: they con¬fronted, in the same guise, many men.“Well,” said President Burton, “ifthere is anything in a man’s experi¬ence which he can make helpful toothers, perhaps he ought to tell aboutit.”He hesitated.“What was your reaction to yourwider task? Did it cause you anx¬iety?”Felt Responsibility“If you mean, to express it in termsof ordinary experience, did it make menervous? No. I had a sense of greatresponsibility, of course. But oneshould have the courage to assumeany responsibility that comes un¬sought.”“But the weight—many a manwould find it crushing. Many a manwould be confused, smothered, by themultitude of things to he done.”“Naturally,” was President Burton’s(Conintued on page 2) campus leaders have expressed theirdeep sorrow in the passing of agreat man.Charles Anderson, president ofthe Undergraduate Council, said:“The president’s death is the se¬verest loss that the University couldsustain at this time.

His death in away was an heroic one because atthe time of life when most men startto let down, he had undertaken atremendous responsibility and hadburned himself out in carrying outthat responsibility.”Josephine Maclay, Read Collegeaide, said: “In the death ofPresident Burton I feel that we havelost one who in his short term aspresident has made himself felt inundergraduate circles not only asan educator but as a friend—onewho gave his busy time to andshowed great interest in the simpleproblems of undergraduate life.”Eleanor Rice, president of Fed¬eration, said: “I know that thewomen of the University regret very(Continued on page 4)- public schools, and Walter Dill Scott,president of Northwestern Univer¬sity, are as follows:“Service to our city, our state,our nation; service in a broad, fra¬ternal, and civilizing spirit for allmankind, throughout a life filled fullof good work is the heritage left byErnest DeWitt Burton. In him thebest qualities of a great schoolmas¬ter; vision, constructiveness, indus¬try, and faith were eminent andwere devoted to the public good.”William McAndrew,Superintendent, Chicago PublicSchools.“President Ernest DeWitt Burtonwas a wonderfully fine neighbor.

It was perfectly clearthat under his administration theintellectual and spiritual interestswere to be supreme at the Univer¬sity of Chicago. The progress of ademocracy is dependent upon thequalities of its leaders. America andAmerican institutions are safe whensuch men as President Burton areat the helm.Walter Dill Scott,President Northwestern University. The Interclass Hop was cancelledyesterday at a meeting of the lead¬ers in deference to the death ofPresident Burton. The followingofficial statement was issued:The Interclass Hop leaders, voic¬ing what we believe to be the truesentiment of the undergraduate stu¬dent body, have cancelled the In¬terclass Hop to have been held onMay 29, that we may pay proper re¬spect to our late President Burton.Signed:The Interclass Hop Leaders.The Hop Leaders wish to thankMr. M.

In this waywe feel that undergraduates who areunable to attend will be representedat the funeral of President Burton.”The Council will meet tomorrow todraft a fitting resolution which willrepresent the expression of the studentbody in their feeling of loss over thedeath of the President.Copies of the Maroon Extracontaining the obituary of Presi¬dent Burton may be had by call¬ing at the Maroon office in Ellishall. To serve the world, not as itswealthiest nor its greatest university,but as the best possible educator inits region and among its people, wasPresident Ernest DeWitt Burton’splan for the University. Yet he de¬sired it “not simply to do in a newplace what others are doing in otherplaces, but to introduce some newelement by which education would bemade more effective.”The effectiveness of this greateruniversity, that the President pictur¬ed in many of his speeches, was tobe in the training of men for service,and especially in the development ofhigh-minded personalities.Real Values in Peoplej “The real values of life,” he said.I are in people, and this fact needs al¬ways to be in the back of the mind, at| least, of the investigator. If ever wej imagined, as I think a generation ago' many of us in America did, thatknowledge is of itself sufficient to| make democracy safe for the worldj and the world safe for democracy,we surely have been disillusioned bythe experiences of the last decade.“To know is not enough. It hasin it a fatal defect.

The Sigma Nu squad willmeet the Macs at 3:30 today and thewinner of this game will competeagainst the Delta Sigma Phi nine at5:30. The winner must play the twogames on the same afternoon becauseno games will be played on Thursdayand the final combat is scheduled totake place in the Spring Carnival onFriday.'Fhe other semi-final game will hebetween Tan Kappa Epsilon and BetaThe*a Pi which will he held at 3:30on Field 1.All of these games should offer keencompetition as the five teams now re¬maining in the tournament had to sur¬vive two days of gruelling battles togain the third round. The Sigma Nu-Mac battle will probably feature aduel between two of the best hurlersin the tourney, Bus Stevens and Good¬man. While Bartlett halls rang strangelyempty yesterday as a result of can¬cellation of all classes, leaders of theranks of University sportsmen afterhastily gathering in a board meet¬ing to cancel all activity, joined withthe rest of the University in express¬ing their loss in the death of thelate president.Among the sportsmen there wasunstinted admiration for the com¬plete grasp which Dr. Burton, a manof lifelong academic pursuits, hadshown for the needs of the athleticdepartment.Aided Departmental WorkIt was pointed out that during hisbrief administration the local athleticdepartment has developed beyond allcomparison with its previous size."In two years,” one official of thedepartment pointed out, ‘‘plans forthe erection of a huge stadium, longneeded by the University, have beenproposed and accepted, and the fieldhouse project brought to the vergej of actual construction.”From other parts of the depart¬ment came an appreciation of the! friendly interest that the late head| of the University had continuouslyI shown in the affairs of the depart -j ment and especially in the develop-j ment of "athletics for all” program,which has been installed at the Uni-i versity in the last two seasons.Finally, it was pointed ouf, thatwith Dr. Burton at the head of theUniversity, the Japan trip, one ofthe projects considered most important by the athletic department, andwhich had aroused considerable op¬position in the past, had been ap¬proved unanimously and withoutquestion.EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETSThe Executive committee of theJunior class will meet today at 3:30in Classics 13.

The seniorsequipped with only four eligible wo¬men cannot possibly play a gamewithout outside players and thiscounts them out of the real tourna¬ment; for as soon as outside playersare put in, the game is forfeited totheir opponents.Consequently, games with the se¬ nior's all count as a win for the otherside, and although the score in thefreshmen-senior play on Monday in¬dicates a loss for the freshmen, it isrecorded as a victory by default.In the sophomore-freshmen gametoday, the second-year squad are sureof retaining second place in theleague, since the only freshmen winis a technical one. The yearlingshave a strong pitcher in their Cap¬tain, Mildred Heindl, and have alsosome good material in Wellnor, Mit¬chell and Heindrieks, but the soph¬omores learned the tricks of Heindl’shurling in their previous game andBacon, Hedeen. Steger, and severalothers in the sophomore batting lin*3can be counted on to get away fortwo and three base hits.Ames is the strongest bet on thejunior team, but every one of thestring plays a fast and far-hittinggame, and Isabel Gr-rgas’ competent Ipitching will do much to hold the jseniors to a low-hit score today.

Cam-I pus politicians and writers, musi-| cians and actors have announcedl their intentions of upsetting thedope when they line up alongsidetheir more athletic rivals in the elim-! ination events this afternoon. It is| estimated that at least twenty-fiveJ organizations and ten unattached! entrants will be enrolled before oneo’clock today, the last time at whichentries will be received.As this is the first event of itskind to be held by the University andas most of the participants are yetuntried in the field of sport dopeis worthless and speculation useless.All undergraduate men students whohave not won Varsity letters orfreshman green shirts or numeralsare eligible for competition.

Thurs¬day, the day of the funeral of the latepresident, will be another non-sportday, while on Friday, everything willstart again on its usual schedule.The most outstanding result of thispolicy is the cancellation of the Ma-roon-Illini baseball game scheduledto take place Thursday at Illinois.This action was regarded as in keep¬ing with the significance of the day,althought it was generally realizedaround Bartlett yesterday, that fail¬ure to play this game will be a severeblow to Chicago title hopes.It had been hoped at first that ar¬rangements could be made to play thecontest Friday or Saturday, but nego¬tiations to this end collapsed becauseof Illinois examinations scheduled toI start on these days.Track Meet Is CancelledThe dual track meet with North! western university scheduled to takeplace on Stagg field Thursday hasalso been permanently cancelled.Otherwise, however, sporting activ¬ities, while in some cases deferred un¬til Friday, will eventually continuein their normal course."Our internal sport activities willcontinue the same as ever, startingWednesday with the exception thatnothing will be done on Thursday,’’Coach Stagg announced yesterday.“All external functions, however, willbe deferred until after the funeral.Start Tennis on FridayIn accordance with this principle.1the Interscholastic tennis tournament,which brought more than 100 of the1county’s leading tennis players to theUniversity yesterday before the newsof the president’s death had put ahalt to all sports, has been deferreduntil Friday when the first round willbe run off. Play will be continuedon Saturday and the Monday andTuesday following.Intra-mural baseball games sched¬ uled today will be played off in ac¬cordance with previous arrange¬ments. while the spring sport carni¬val. bilied to take place today and Fri¬day in accordance with the originalplans.Maroon* Go to Indiana MondayNext week everything will con¬tinue in accordance with schedule.The Maroon ball nine will take itstwo junkets to Bloomington andMadison to comnlete the season andthe other branches of sport will alsoplay out their schedules.The Interscholastic track meet,billed to take place on June 5-6 is tobe run off in accordance with the ar¬rangements of the commission.Whether it will be surrounded by theusual brilliant social activity, is, how¬ever doubtful.Woman’s sports had no game3scheduled for Thursday, and sincetheir competition is purely internal,the schedules will not be altered.Northwestern to OfferCourses to SportCoachesCoach Glenn Thistlewaite of theNorthwestern University footballteam will offer a six weeks’ coursein gridiron strategy and coachingtechnique at Northwestern thissummer.Prof. Leon Kranz will teachcourses in basketbal, athletic pro¬gram management and playgroundwork.

Hehad administrative ability of a highmany ordei.( and, while essentially progres¬sive, had at the same time so muchbusiness intelligence and foresight asto make him a sane and safe leader.The election of Dr. Burton aspresident gave him new authorityand increased freedom of action.One of his first acts was to institutemeasures for giving new advantagesto the undergraduates. Prof. ErnestHatch Wilkins was made dean ofthe colleges, and the number of as¬sistant deans was increased from fiveto ten. The deans came into moreintimate association with the stu¬dents, and a new relation of under¬standing and sympathy and friend¬ship between teacher and studentwas thus established. To the morecapable students who were ambitiousto excell special attention and en¬couragement were given. All thesethings have two great results, amongothers: the number of dismissals forwork was greatly decreased,poorlar causes often found in him a cham¬pion. In these respects as in manyothers more publicly known, he wastruly a leader.”Dean Edith Foster Flint: “I liketo think of him as T saw him last, fivedays before his first operation. He ex¬pressed then in both looks and wordssome of the most precious things forwhich we honor him and hold himdear—his faith in spiritual values, hisbeautiful unconsciousness of himself,and his utter sincerity.”Dean Gale: “It is a great calamityfor the University at this time to losePresident Burton. He was a won¬derful leader and we all admired hiscourage and energy displayed in hisundertakings. President Burton urgedus all on to renewed efforts and hopesand made an inspiring leader. Wehave all learned to have great per¬sonal affection for him in addition toadmiration and respect.”Dean Gordon G. Laing: “In Presi¬dent Burton’s death the University ofChicago has suffered an irreparableloss. If there has been a greater Uni¬versity President in the country dur¬ing the last few years, I do not knowwho he is. From the day that he as¬sumed the responsibilities of office heshowed himself to be a man not onlyof broad views and high ideals hut alsoof dynamic energy. I remember hear¬ing that when the Board of Trusteesoffered him the post of Acting-Presi¬dent, he replied that he would acceptonly on the understanding that histenure of office should not be regardedmerely as a period of marking time till j (Continued from page \)a President should he appointed, but i much the loss of President Burton,that he should be allowed lull meas- Wg gtudents haVe aiways felt thature of initiative and constructive j he had an especial interest in us.”work.

They did notstand alone. Additions to the fundfor the erection of the Thelogybuilding were quickly obtained, thecontracts were let, constructionstarted in July, 1924, and the workpushed rapidly forward. The or¬ganization of the Medical school wasvigorously advanced. Plans initiatedunder President Judson were com¬pleted and the Rush Medical collegewas made an organic part of theUniversity.Secured New FundsWhile all these things were beingaccomplished the securing of addi¬tional funds was not neglected. Newcontributions and subscriptions forvarious purposes amounting to$528,550 were received in 1923-24.Plans for the great Universitychapel, the Bond chapel, the Billingshospital, and the Epstein dispensarywere made facts, and under Presi¬dent Burton’s direction, active workwas started on this building program.

Hiseminence in the field of New Testa¬ment literature is attested by the longlist of books, pamphlets, and articleswhich he has written. His “Harm¬ony of the Synoptic Gospels” is theoutstanding work in this field.”STUDENTS DEPLORELOSS OF FRIENDOF UNDERGRADUATESthe Committee on the GraduateSchools for the advancement of thisphase of the University’s activities.And yet with all his enthusiasm henever lost his perspective. “Not ‘thegreatest University’ but ‘the bestpossible university’ should be our aim”he once said to a group of facultymen, who were discussing the advis¬ability of a slogan for the University’scampaign for funds.

Thedissemination of knowledge by whichthe largest number of people mayavail themselves of it. The trainingof men for service. The developmentof personalities capable of the larg¬est possible participation in life andof the largest possible contribution tolife.“To achieve its purposes the educa¬tion of our youth must be vastly morethan a process of impartation and ac¬quisition of knowledge. The, collegemust concern itself with the develop¬ment of personalities of men andwomen who to knowledge have addedsomething worthy to be called culture’and to culture high ideals and strongcharacter.Offers Resopnsibility“Often by reason of absence from 1 home or by the limitations of thehome, there is open to the Universityan opportunity, and there is laid uponit a responsibility for guidance whichunder other conditions might belongto parent or pastor.“We dare not take refuge in anynarrow definition or conception ofeducation to excuse ourselves fromdoing our utmost to meet these re¬sponsibilities. The task of makingfor this Republic, citizens who willmaintain its best traditions and meetits new responsibilities and opportun¬ities is a vast and serious one.” POSTPONE CLUB MEETINGMEETINGBOHASSECK-LAVARONSTUDIOSWeddinK AdministrationGownsInstruction in Dress MakingSuite 802 110 N.
