TRIBUTE TO LOUIS BOUDREAU

Mr. Steger asked that the Trustees recognize the recent election of Louis Boudreau, alumnus and former University of Illinois athlete, to the Baseball Hall of Fame. On motion of Mr. Steger, the Board directed the Secretary to send a wire of congratulations to Mr. Boudreau and to include a resolution of tribute in the minutes of this meeting. The resolution is as follows:

To Louis BOUDREAU

Members of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees note with enthusiasm the election of Louis Boudreau, an alumnus of the Class of 1940, to the Baseball Hall of Fame. This honor, the most recent in a long series of distinctions in the field of athletics, not only is a great personal achievement but a creditable reflection upon his alma mater. Since he came to the Urbana-Champaign campus in 1936, Louis Boudreau as a member of varsity basketball and baseball teams, as a student athlete and sportsman, and later in professional careers in the major leagues and in the field of communications has exemplified the highest ideals and traditions of the University of Illinois. Since 1965 he has been a member of the Board of Directors of the University of Illinois Athletic Association and currently is president of that Board. His services to the University have been many and performed at all times in the spirit of institutional loyalty and devotion. In recognition of his achievements and services, therefore, Be It Resolved by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees that this tribute to Louis Boudreau be made public; that the Board direct that this tribute and resolution be incorporated in the minutes of this meeting to become a part of the official record, and that a suitable copy be forwarded to him as a permanent record of the esteem and affection in which he is held.
