Education: Michiganders
In Manhattan, ten University of Michigan undergraduates strode up a Grace Line gangplank, bound for Lima, Lake Titicaca, Cuzco, La Paz, Iquique, Antofagasta. Bidden guests of most of the South American Republics, the ten were escorted by two members of their alma mater's Romance Language staff. They bore with them to South American universities the good-will of Marion L. Burton, Michigan's Coolidge-nominating President. In addition to conditions social, economic, political, religious, which it is their intent to scrutinize, the Michiganders may see a being who has long excited the curiosity of the American advertisement-reading public "that native of Antofagasta," whose fame was made when he ordered a stove via the Western Union Telegraph Co.'s lines o'er land and sea.
