Abstract
We study the Mahler measure of generators of a Galois extension with Galois group the full symmetric group. We prove that two classical constructions of generators give always algebraic numbers of big height. These results answer a question of Smyth and provide some evidence to a conjecture which asserts that the height of such a generator grows to infinity with the degree of the extension.
