The following members of the Board were present: Mr. Howard W. Clement, Mr. Donald R. Grimes, Mr. Ralph C. Hahn, Mr. Earl M. Hughes, Mr. Timothy W. Swain, Mr. Kenney E. Williamson. Mr. Theodore A. Jones was not present when the Board convened but joined the meeting later. Governor Samuel H. Shapiro, Mr. Ray Page, Mr. Harold Pogue, and Dr. James A. Weatherly were absent. The same University officers and officers of the Board were present as recorded in the Finance Committee Minutes. TRIBUTE TO MAJOR LENOX R. LOHR The President of the Board presented the following tribute to Major Lohr: I believe that members of the Board will want to note the recent passing of Major Lenox R. Lohr. A little more than four years ago this Board approved the conferring of a Trustees Citation upon Major Lohr for distinguished public service with special recognition of his long and devoted services to the University as member and Chairman of its Citizens Committee and as Chairman of the Jane Addams Memorial Fund. None of us needs to be reminded of the extent of Major Lohr's contributions to the City of Chicago, the State of Illinois, and the Nation. I will, however, entertain a motion recording the deep regret of the Board of Trustees at the death of Major Lohr and its profound appreciation for his many services to this institution. Mr. Hughes moved that the Board record its deep regret at the passing of Major Lohr and that the Secretary of the Board be instructed to convey the sentiments of the Board to the members of Major Lohr's family. This motion was approved by a standing vote. INTRODUCTION OF IRVIN L.
