1971] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 377 education; the preservation of the University's leadership through new areas of emphasis and new modes of participation — as in the new programs in the health fields; the vision of educational opportunity and its fullfillment in the development of the Chicago Circle campus; and the transformation of the organizational structure into the University of Illinois system. In large part these and many other achievements have been possible as a result of President Henry's remarkable capacity to secure the confidence and support of leaders in all areas of the state of Illinois, in state government, the philanthropic community, the citizenry at large. Similarly, the Trustees have watched with pride as President Henry's personal influence has extended beyond the state of Illinois to national and international levels. T o the councils of decision in American higher education he has brought the qualities of service and humane concern, making enduring contributions to generations of beneficiaries of higher learning. Therefore, the Trustees convey to David Dodds H e n r y their profound appreciation, and that of millions of citizens of Illinois and beyond, for the greatness that has marked his career and the greatness he has brought to the University of Illinois. The resolution was adopted by a rising vote of the Trustees. On motion of Mr. Swain, the Board adjourned. EARL W. PORTER EARL M. HUGHES Secretary President
