CHAMPAIGN (UP)—A professor whose annual salary never topped $6000 built up a fortune of close to $1,000,000. This astonishing feat was disclosed today in the will of the man who pyramided the money—the late George A. Miller. Miller, 87 when he died Feb. 10, was a familiar figure on the campus. He dressed plainly. He often ate with students in the Illini Union cafeteria. Not even his intimates knew of his wealth. The professor was a widely known mathematician. He bought stocks and bonds. But nobody knew precisely how he parlayed his modest salary into six-figure riches. When Miller joined the University of Illinois faculty in 1906, his annual salary was only $2000. When he retired in 1931, it was only $6000. An attorney termed the professor "a skillful investor." Tuesday Service For Hieronymus Fred V.
