appointment in die President's Office. Except for a two-year leave of absence in which he served as executive assistant to Governor Stratton and to Governor Kerner, he has served continuously in this legislative capacity in the interest of die University. H e has been, as well, the chairman and vice-chairman of die Illinois Toll Road Advisory Commission, for sixteen years, and continues to serve on the Illinois Commission for Economic Development. It is not possible to effectively recount the multitude of daily services rendered die University by Bill Rice in the course of his work in Springfield. In brief, he was always diere, at critical moments, to promote the interests of higher education and of the University. Sometimes the services were momentary but of considerable significance — in the appropriation process, in die correction of error, in dealing widi emergency. It has been a notable record and one for which die Board of Trustees gladly expresses its appreciation. T h e secretary was directed to arrange for presentation of this resolution to Mr. Rice at a time and location convenient to him. (The resolution will be presented at die July board meeting at die Urbana-Champaign campus.)
