The Distinguished Service Medallion Committee, consisting of five trustees, including the president of the board, ex officio, now recommends as recipient of the Trustees Distinguished Service Medallion for 1979 the following individual:

CHARLES E. " C H I L L Y " BOWEN served the University for thirty-three years.

A graduate of the University in 1922, he returned in 1927 to serve in several positions in the Athletic Association until 1942 when he became the first full-time executive director of the Alumni Association. He served in that position until his retirement in 1960. He was instrumental in the establishment of a fund by the University Foundation and named for him to provide assistance for undergraduates interested in university administration as a career and for varsity athletes.
