Stanley O. Ikenberry President of the University JL welcome ail of you this afternoon to a marvelous moment in the University's history, when we once again are given the opportunity to honor a distinguished departed alumnus, Lester H. Swanlund, and his thoughtful and generous widow, Maybelle. Much of our praise for these two outstanding individuals has already been expressed at the dedication of the first phase of this impressive structure in 1983. Today I am prompted to read a poem penned by a friend of Maybelle Swanlund, a poem that succinctly expresses our thoughts here today: The fruits of your labor of love, from the heart Hours of careful planning from the start, Productive now, thrilling for you to view This privilege is seen in life by all too few! Maybelle, you have the very best wishes of the entire Illinois family May your future be as strong and secure as the building we stand before today.
