BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October 13

Mr. Clement presented the following:

To ANTHONY JAMES JANATA : T h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois expresses and records its grateful appreciation of your sixteen years of dedicated service as its Secretary. With a grace and dignity that is reflected in the personality of this institution, you have served this Board of Trustees as steward, counselor, and friend to all its members. To some of us our personal and professional associations with you embrace the whole of our adult lives. To all of us you have been a symbol of the character of the University, through periods of growth, crisis, and increasing complexity. Nor are we unmindful of the further continuity you have represented during forty-five years of close association with seven of the presidents of the University of Illinois. In this long career, you have brought credit to us and the University in the performance of a multitude of services for which no expression of gratitude can be entirely adequate. W e can not look upon your retirement without regret, indeed sadness, but we take satisfaction from our deeply felt realization that the record of accomplishment is clear and bright and that it will always be a significant part of the long history of the University of Illinois. _ The Board of Trustees directs that this resolution be incorporated in the minutes of today's meeting, to become a part of the official public record, and that a special copy be prepared and given you as a permanent reminder of the esteem and affection in which you are held by all of us.

Mr. Janata was asked to stand during the reading of the resolution, and the resolution was then adopted by the members of the Board by a standing vote. Mr. Janata responded briefly, expressing his appreciation of the personal associations he had enjoyed over many years with the Trustees, officers, and other groups related to the University. He stated that he had known during his career a total of seventy-two trustees of the University of Illinois, thirty-six of whom are now living.

The President of the University asked the Executive Vice-President and Provost to present to the Trustees a report of the fall enrollments of all campuses of the University.
