Pierre de Coubertin withdrew from the IOC and the Olympic Movement in 1925 to devote himself to his pedagogical work, which he termed his unfinished symphony. At the age of 69, in 1931, he published his Olympic Memoirs in which he emphasized the intellectual and philosophical nature of his enterprise and his wish to place the role of the IOC, right from the start, very much above that of a simple sports association. Pierre de Coubertin suddenly died of a heart attack on 2 September, 1937, in a park in Geneva, and thus his symphony remained unfinished. The city of Lausanne had decided to award him honorary citizenship of the city, but he died just prior to the ceremony. In accordance with Pierre de Coubertin's last wishes, he was buried in Lausanne and his heart was placed inside a stele erected to his memory at Olympia.
