Robert Burton (d. 1640) wrote in The Anatomy of Melancholy that "Scaliger and Cardan admire Suisset the calculator, qui pene modum excessit humani ingenii whose talents were almost superhuman".
In January, 2011, Burton demanded that three million dollars worth of donations to the football program be returned over a perceived slight by Athletic Director Jeff Hathaway, as Burton alleges he was not consulted regarding the university's choice of hiring Paul Pasqualoni as the new football coach.
