614 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 17 BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY The Board considered the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University. PRESIDENT'S REPORT Copies of the President's report on selected topics of current interest were distributed at the meeting, and a copy was filed with the Secretary of the Board. INTRODUCTION O F MR. WILLIAM G. KARNES President Hughes recognized and introduced Mr. William G. Karnes, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Beatrice Foods Company, who was attending his first meeting of the Board as a Trustee. Mr. Karnes was appointed by Governor Ogilvie to fill the unexpired term of the late Donald R. Grimes. HERMAN C. KRANNERT Mr. Hughes presented the following resolution: This Board has recently had occasion to express its appreciation of the loyalty and generosity of Herman C. Krannert who has made possible a tremendously expanded potential in the fine arts at the University of Illinois. It is, thus, with special regret that we note the death of Mr. Krannert on February 24, 1972. His imaginative leadership in philanthropy will be missed by the many institutions he has aided and his outstanding example of alumni giving will be remembered by many others across the nation. The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois wishes to record its tribute to an alumnus, benefactor and friend of the University and its deep sympathy to Mrs. Krannert. On motion of Mr. Swain the resolution was adopted by a standing vote. APPOINTMENT O F VICE CHANCELLOR FOR OPERATIONS.
