1984] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 533 Distinguished Service Medallion (3) Since 1973, the trustees have conferred the Distinguished Service Medallion Award upon "individuals whose contributions to the growth and development of the University of Illinois, through extraordinary service or significant benefaction, have been of unusual significance." T h e Distinguished Service Medallion Award Committee, consisting of the trustees listed below, recommends as the recipient of the Medallion for 1984 the following individual: HAROLD B. STEELE. Elected president of the Illinois Farm Bureau in 1970, his thirteen years in office saw an increase in membership of that organization from 191,000 to more than 315,000. Although his study of agriculture at the University was interrupted by World War I I , his support of University and College of Agriculture initiatives in the Illinois General Assembly has had an impact that will be felt for decades. Noteworthy among those efforts was his role in support of the Food for Century I I I program through which more than $44 million has been dedicated to the construction of University facilities for teaching and research in agriculture and veterinary medicine at the Urbana-Champaign campus. Now returned to his farm in Bureau County, he has indicated continued interest and willingness to support those University programs that for so many years have benefited by his efforts. T h e committee recommends that the award be presented at Commencement, May 13, at the Urbana-Champaign campus.
