Emory Cobb, of Kankakee, is now a member, he having continuously served as a trustee from the beginning. Since 1873 Mr. Cobb has been consecutively chosen President of the Board. For his never tiring interest and zeal, for his liberal generosity, for his wise counsel and able management, the University owes much to Mr. Cobb. Among those first appointed who were for many years prominent and exceedingly valuable members of the Board, two, Hon. W. C. Flagg, of Moro, and Judge A. M. Brown, of Villa Ridge, were removed by death.
