MESSAGE FROM T H E PRINCIPAL O F NJALA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, SIERRA LEONE

Since 1963 the University of Illinois and Njala University College, with support from a contract with the Agency for International Development, have cooperated in the development of Njala University College. Strong, innovative programs have been introduced by the staff. The College is recognized by the government of the Republic of Sierra Leone as an important resource for manpower development and agricultural research. Now, after nearly a decade of mutual cooperation, the contract which provided the formal linkage between Njala and Illinois is drawing to a close. In recognition of these combined efforts, Principal S. T. Matturi recently expressed "profound gratitude... to the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois and all the contract staff who, both here in Njala and in Champaign-Urbana, helped in the steady development of Njala University College." The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and staff members of the Office of International Programs and Studies, in forwarding Dr. Matturi's comments, express the hope that the bonds that exist between the two institutions will be strengthened in the future by informal association at all levels. On motion of M r . Swain, the Secretary was directed to write to Dr. Matturi expressing the Board's appreciation for his comments.
