President's Report on Other Matters

Following are excerpts from an extended report presented by the president.

T h e search for a chancellor to lead the newly consolidated campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago concluded with my enthusiastic recommendation to you to appoint Dr. Donald N. Langenberg at a specially called meeting in December. The appointment has been noted in the state and national press, including editorial comment. I believe I express the sentiments of the entire University as I reiterate our pleasure with the appointment of Dr. Langenberg, our high expectations for his leadership, and the eagerness with which we await his arrival. Later this morning we will honor two distinguished gentlemen who have given a major portion of their lives and talents to the University of Illinois.
