Walker In one brief year of service as Trustee of the University of Illinois, you have provided a remarkable example of adaptability to the responsibilities of trusteeship, and quick and effective acceptance of the duties of the position. Appointed to the Board in April of 1970, you have been the youngest member of the Board and have demonstrated compellingly that a younger man of established competence and experience can bring to the Board qualities of leadership vital to the University in troubled times. Throughout a difficult and on occasion turbulent year of initiation to trusteeship, you have consistently maintained a posture of calm judgment, balance, and wisdom. You have understood the nature and mission of a great university and have added significantly to perspective and central focus in the Board's deliberations. T h e University and this Board have been well served by your contributions. T h e President and other administrative officers of the University join with the Board in this tribute to you and in extending best wishes to you and Mrs. Walker.
