Plain Little Professor Leaves Million to School
Champaign Illinois February 19 a professor whose modest salary never topped six thousand dollars built a fortune near one million dollars. The late George A Miller left his entire estate to the University of Illinois for educational purposes. He joined the faculty in 1906 earning two thousand dollars a year and retired in 1931 with six thousand. Miller was a renowned mathematician author of more than 800 articles and served as president of the Mathematics Association of America in 1901. The executor noted his holdings included stocks bonds and some real estate. He lived plainly and dined with students at the Illini Union cafeteria and insisted the gift repay his obligation to the university. He died February 10 at age 87.
