Mr. Swain took the chair and paid tribute to Mr. Johnston and to his service to the Board. Mr. Swain further stated his satisfaction in the nonpartisan nature of the election which was so clearly reflective of the nonpartisan work of the Board of Trustees itself. He indicated that he accepted the honor and expression of support in that spirit and pledged his service to the University to the best of his ability. He then announced that, according to the Act governing the operation of the Illinois State Board of Higher Education, he would designate an alternate — Mr. Howard W. Clement — to attend meetings of that Board and to act for the President of the Board of Trustees in that relationship.
