808 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [November 10 the Springfield institution. This plan not only is forward looking but indicates the depth of consideration which the University has given "to reflect the needs of the next century rather than simply the most pressing needs of the next decade." Educational Autonomy. T h e Master Plan for the State of Illinois calls for, and interested citizens of Springfield desire, an institution which will be educationally autonomous. T h e University of Illinois, with its system of chancellors and educational autonomy for three existing campuses, can offer the Springfield campus the kind of governance which will be most acceptable to all concerned. If the University were assigned the task of developing the new institution in Springfield, a chancellor would be appointed and other appropriate administrative officers selected without any administrative control from the other campuses. The general administrative officers of the University are equally concerned with the interests of all campuses and do not direct operations at any of them. Further, a local advisory committee would be established immediately, to reflect community as well as statewide interests in planning and continuing developments. Prestige. Even though educationally autonomous, the new campus would immediately benefit from the prestige which the University of Illinois has built over its one hundred-year history. This point is of vital concern in meeting the greatest single task any new institution must face; that is, recruitment of an able and distinguished faculty in an era in which there is great competition for scholars and scholarly achievement. T h e University of Illinois at Chicago Circle has made enormous strides in assembling a first-rate faculty because it is a part of the University of Illinois system. Resources. T h e University of Illinois system has the kind of academic resources in every area which are needed for prompt and effective activation of a new campus. On its faculty and staff is the expertise needed now to assist in planning an educational program and to devise and construct in the most efficient way, the kind of physical plant which will get the most from dollars the State of Illinois appropriates. Trusteeship. T h e University of Illinois is governed by a Board of Trustees chosen by the electorate of the state who serve as representatives of the complete citizen population of the State of Illinois. No other university system in Illinois is so constituted. It is most fitting that an institution in the State Capital be governed by a Board of Trustees representing the people of the entire commonwealth and chosen by them. O n m o t i o n of M r .
