RESOLUTIONS IN BEHALF OF RETIRING TRUSTEES

President Forsyth recognized the two trustees whose terms of service ended with this meeting: Dr. Edmund R. Donoghue, who did not stand for reelection for another term, and Mr. Paul Stone, who was not reelected. He asked each to come forward, at which time the following resolutions were presented and approved by the trustees by a standing vote.

Resolution To Edmund Roche Donoghue: The Board of Trustees hereby expresses its deep appreciation for your dedicated service as a member of this Board for the past six years. The University of Illinois and its Trustees have benefitted from your special expertise as a distinguished surgeon in the medical sciences, but your contribution has never been limited to that field. You have evidenced an informed interest in all the activities of the University and those it serves. Special recognition is due your contribution in each of your six years on the General Policy and Nonacademic Personnel Committees. As Chairman of the latter for three years, you gave extra time and effort as a University representative on the Civil Service Merit Board. A member of the Buildings and Grounds Committee for five years, you chaired that active and important committee for four years. A member of the Athletic Activities Committee, you have loyally supported this interest of the University. Your background in medical education at Northwestern, Loyola, and the Chicago Medical School and your commitment to a strong University of Illinois presence in the Chicago area have been of great value to this institution. The President and other administrative officers of the University join the members of the Board of Trustees in this special tribute and extend best wishes to you and to Mrs. Donoghue, your gracious partner, in your continuing, life-long association with the University of Illinois. T h e Board of Trustees directs that this resolution be incorporated in the minutes of today's meeting to become a part of the official public record and that a suitable copy be given you as a permanent reminder of the esteem and affection in which you are held. Resolution To Paul Stone: As you complete the full term to which you were elected in November 1978, the Board of Trustees honors you for the leadership you have provided to the Board and to the University during your tenure.
