| 説明 | President Burton, who was only 50, died on February 18, 1925, four months after suffering a heart attack on the evening of October 21, 1924. On Friday, February 20, the body, banked with flowers, lay in state in an open casket at Alumni Memorial Hall as 18,000 viewers filed past. After the doors were closed at 5:30 p.m., a death mask of Dr. Burton was taken by Fred M. Torrey, a Chicago sculptor. Then a procession of U-M deans escorted the casket to the President's House to await the funeral on Saturday afternoon. Here the stream of boxy cars has left the residence at 815 South University, and is crossing East University Avenue on its eastward journey to Forest Hill Cemetery. The tall, white vehicle is the hearse. (Burton had been president since 1920, succeeding Dr. Harry B. Hutchins who, before he was president, had been a dynamic dean of the Law School. This was the second funeral of a U-M president in nine years: James B. Angell, who had lived in the President's House for seven years beyond his retirement in 1909, died in 1916. Five years after Burton, in 1930, ex-President Hutchins passed away. All of them were buried in Forest Hill Cemetery.) |
