Since 1963, under contract with the United States Agency for International Development, the University has aided in the development of the University of Sierra Leone through the provision of technical assistance and educational services. During the course of this relationship, some forty-five members of the faculty have served in Sierra Leone on the project. Approximately fifteen citizens of Sierra Leone have come here to pursue further education. On February 12, 1969, on the occasion of the First Congregation of the University of Sierra Leone and the installation of Sir Samuel Bankole Jones as Chancellor of the University, Vice Chancellor Matturi said, "Our thanks also go to the United States Government and The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois for the parts they have played in nurturing what may be described as a 'precocious infant' in this University partnership." The ceremony also included the granting of honorary degrees, including the degree Doctor of Civil Law honoris causa to President Henry, in absentia, for his "contribution to scholarship, and the keen interest you have shown in the development of Njala University College" (one of the two colleges which constitute the University of Sierra Leone).
