TRIBUTE TO HENRY E. WILSON At this point, Mr. McKelvey presented the following. In the recent death of Henry E. Wilson, for thirty years General Secretary of the University Y.M.C.A., the University of Illinois lost a loyal friend. While not an official member of the University staff, Mr. Wilson's contribution to the University's welfare and student life has been far-reaching and outstanding. His able leadership brought him, and the University, national and world-wide recognition in Y.M.C.A. circles, and the Association he so ably led has had top rank rating for many years. Mr. Wilson's chief concern was that the Y.M.C.A. should serve the University by providing leadership and a program in the area of moral and spiritual values. The beautiful building which is the house of the Y.M.C.A., while a gift of friends interested in the moral and spiritual life of students, is also a testimonial of the dreams and the untiring efforts of Mr. Wilson. Therefore, be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees hereby records its appreciation of Mr. Wilson's contribution to the life of the University over so many years, and directs its Secretary to spread this resolution on the minutes and to send copies to Mrs. Wilson and to the officers and directors of the Y.M.C.A. On motion of Mr. McKelvey, this resolution was adopted by unanimous vote. DR. BRADLEY INTRODUCED At this point, President Stoddard introduced Dr. Phillips Bradley, Director of the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations. Dr. Bradley spoke briefly on the work and purposes of the Institute.
