110 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [ N o v e m b e r 15 You have made a special contribution to this great University, providing a sophisticated understanding of state government gained through six terms as a member of the General Assembly. This unique perspective has enabled you to provide personal leadership not only to this University, but to all of higher education in Illinois: as Chairman of the Illinois Teachers College Board (later the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities), as a member of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, and as President of this Board of Trustees in 1981 and 1982. To the deliberation of the Trustees you have brought a keen sense of the public good, an essence of what is best for the University as a whole, appealing to a broad, principled approach in the conduct of University affairs. Your sense of fairness has contributed greatly to the work of the Board and to the State Universities Civil Service Merit Board on which you have served so well for ten years. While your outstanding career as a legislator has been recognized by many organizations, we now honor you for your selfless service to your alma mater, as its trustee. The President and other administrative officers of the University join the members of the Board of Trustees in this tribute and in extending their best wishes to you — and to Mrs. Stone for her own devoted service. The Board of Trustees directs that this resolution be incorporated in the minutes of today's meeting to become a part of the official public record and that a suitable copy be given you as a permanent reminder of the esteem and affection in which you are held.
