HAVENS Mr. Hughes presented the following resolution to Charles S. Havens, Director of the Office of Physical Plant Planning and Construction. On motion of Mr. Swain, the resolution was approved and the Secretary directed to print it in the minutes of the Board of Trustees. The resolution is as follows: To Charles S. Havens In the history of the University of Illinois, only a few men have served the institution in positions of high trust and responsibility for as long a period as has Charles Havens. His association began with his part-time service in the physical plant department as a high school and college student and has continued for over fifty years. From 1934 to 1967, he was the Director of the Physical Plant Department. Since 1967 he has been the University Director of Physical Plant Planning and Construction. For thirty-three years he has had the chief responsibility at all campuses for physical planning, for the overseeing of planning and construction of new buildings and additions to existing buildings, for landscape and site development, and land acquisition. Until 1967 he also administered the operation and maintenance of the physical plant on all campuses. In the last fifteen years, the volume of University construction reached the high point in its history, and it has been in this period that Charles Havens's leadership, versatility, and ingenuity have been most severely tested and his great capabilities most rewardingly utilized. The dramatic example has been the complex undertaking represented in the planning and building of the Chicago Circle campus, a task under Mr. Havens's personal direction from the beginning and overseen by him through years of difficulties and uncertainties, the enterprise requiring a sensitivity and skill he has applied to all of his service to the University of Illinois. It is not enough for the Trustees to give recognition to Charles Havens's professional record alone — because it has been inseparable from the personal qualities that have graced all that he has done. The integrity of his management of the large affairs under his supervision, the warm humanity in his relationships with those with whom he has worked, the insights he has brought to the council table, and the poise and dedication he has brought to his many-faceted service will not easily be equaled in the future of the University of Illinois. The Board is proud and pleased to honor Charles S. Havens upon his approaching retirement. H e has brought r a r e statesmanship to his work and has honored the University as he has served it. APPOINTMENT O F CHANCELLOR. CHICAGO CIRCLE (1) I recommend the appointment of Dr. Warren B. Cheston, presently Dean of the Institute of Technology at the University of Minnesota, as Chancellor of the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle for two years and Professor of Physics on
