1971] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 197 Professor Victor J. Stone, to introduce the Committee and to speak on its behalf. Professor Stone made the following remarks: Mr. President: W e of the Consultative Committee are particularly happy to participate in the successful conclusion to our months of labor. When this Committee was constituted and first met last May, we formed several conceptions concerning our task. W e thought that we wanted t o do it not only in a way that would bring to the University of Illinois an outstanding new president, but also by processes and procedures that would be a credit to our university. This meant, to us, that we should be as thorough as possible — spread our net as widely as we possibly could-—in order to consider all qualified persons. It meant that we should have a high respect for facts and seek t o become as well informed as conditions would allow. It meant that we should be conscientious and selfless, and as objective as persons can be in evaluating other human beings, in formulating our statements and evaluations concerning prospects whom we considered. It meant that if we were to be successful as a Consultative Committee, we should have a full, open, and candid consultation with the members of the Board of Trustees. W e have worked hard to realize these goals, and now that we have completed our work, I hope that it will be clear that we have succeeded in implementing them. But there are times when the best of procedures produce varying results. T h e proof of the pudding is in the tasting. It is therefore particularly happy for us to know today that this pudding which we have been preparing tastes very good indeed. Now, Mr. President, I should like to introduce the members of the Committee who are present today, and identify those who are unable to be here. (Professor Stone here introduced the following members of the Committee: Vice President Eldon L. Johnson from General Administration; Dean Mary K.
