UNIVEESITY OF ILLINOIS. [June 5 Messrs. Bayliss and Abbott and Mrs. Busey were appointed a committee to present to the Board an appreciation of the services of Deans Burrill and Ricker and of Professor Shattuck. Later during the session the committee presented the following, which was adopted. WHEREAS, Professor Thomas J. Burrill, after ten years' service as Dean of the Graduate School; Professor Nathan C. Ricker, after twenty-seven years' service as Dean of the College of Engineering; and Professor Samuel W. Shattuck, after service as head of the Department of Mathematics since September, 1868, have each asked to toe relieved from further service in the capacities named; Resolved, That in ordering that each of these requests be granted, the Board of Trustees desires to record its very high appreciation of the value of their work to the University and to the State of Illinois. It would be difficult to name three members of the faculties of the University whose combined services have counted for more in the development of the greatest of the State educational institutions, and impossible to name an equal number of individual members of the teaching body who have wrought with greater fidelity, skill or singleness of purpose; and it is hereby ordered that the Secretary of this Board shall furnish to Deans Burrill and Ricker and to Professor Shattuck a certified copy of this expression.
