90 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [November 18 As you know, under date of November 5, I established consultative committees to assist in the search for the vice president for administration and for the vice president for business and finance. Professor Samuel K. Gove and Vice President Weir, respectively, serve as chairmen of the committees. Each committee contains two faculty representatives, at least one person from the organization for which the vice president would be responsible, and at least one representative from the respective campus administrations who would work closely with the vice president. I have asked the committees to move ahead with dispatch, and I would hope we would have some options to consider in early 1983. The search for the new chancellor of the University of Illinois at Chicago is continuing to make fine progress. I believe the committee could be in a position to recommend to me a cadre of qualified candidates prior to the end of this calendar year. As soon as I receive these recommendations, I will be in touch with members of the Board of Trustees and we will enter the final phases of the search. I wish to conclude with a note of deep appreciation on behalf of the University community for the dedicated service Ron Brady has rendered to this Board of Trustees, to his faculty and administrative colleagues, and to the University community during the last decade. To say we regret losing him to the University of California and that he is irreplaceable is — at the same time — obvious and inadequate. Words like bright, articulate, unflappable, ingenious, and perceptive come to mind. He will carry these fine qualities and many more to the University of California. We wish you well, Ron Brady; and to you, the University of California, you owe us one! PRESENTATION OF RESOLUTIONS President Ikenberry presented the following resolution with regard to Ronald W. Brady. From the day of his arrival at the University of Illinois in 1972, Dr. Ronald W. Brady has carried major and increasing responsibilities in the effort to enhance the University's programs and resources and to enhance its quality. T h e times have required a strengthening of the organizational structure, improvements in efficiency, and fresh approaches to planning and problem-solving. Ron Brady has given all of this — and more — to the University of Illinois. His initiatives in University finance, for example, were employed in the design of the Food for Century I I I program, in the creative revenue bond financing of 1978, and in countless other ways. Throughout his tenure he has made a distinct personal contribution that only he could make, opening lines of communication and confidence with State government; skillfully articulating the University's needs; and finding ways to accomplish goals others regarded impossible. For a decade-long application of his unique talents, his colleagues and a grateful Board of Trustees convey their deep appreciation and enduring personal regard. On motion of Mrs. Shepherd, this resolution was adopted. President Stone presented the following resolution with regard to Earl L. Neal. Trusteeship in a major university is a difficult, sensitive responsibility, but outstanding trustees have made it a distinguished public service. Your twelve years of devotion to the University of Illinois, and to the public it serves, provide a shining example of such trusteeship at its best. You have brought to the task a rich background in experience and in
