584 BOARD O F TRUSTEES [April 19 MEMORIAL TO DONALD R. GRIMES Mr. Swain presented and moved the adoption of the following memorial to Donald R. Grimes, member of the Board who died on March 26, 1972: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois records with deep sorrow the death on March 26, 1972, of Donald R. Grimes, a member of this Board for five years. Following his graduation from the University of Illinois in 1928, he worked for more than forty years with notable success in the business world. His leadership qualities brought him executive responsibilities in a variety of business settings. These same qualities, linked with a willingness to serve and a genuine concern for his fellow man, were shared with the numerous church and civic organizations to which he devoted generous amounts of time and energy. His concern for the welfare and development of youth guided many of these projects. To this University, however, his commitment of loyalty and dedicated service set him above the ordinary. To positions as Chairman of the Mini Union Fund Committee, as Vice President of the University of Illinois Foundation and as a member of this Board he brought qualities of integrity, forthrightness, sincerity and humanity which all of his colleagues and others who serve the University valued highly. In recognition of this unselfish devotion and as an expression of warmth for his friendship, the Trustees record in the minutes of today's meeting this tribute and extend to his family their deepest sympathy. The President of the University, the officers of the Board, and the members of the staff who had the privilege of being associated with Mr. Grimes during his tenure on the Board desire to be included in this tribute. T h i s memorial was adopted by a standing vote.
