BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 16

INSTALLATION, STUDENT TRUSTEES

President Neal introduced each of the new student trustees whose terms began July 1, 1975, and made the following comments with regard to their service:

The Statutes of the State of Illinois provide that there shall be three nonvoting student members of this Board, one from each campus of the University. T h e method of selecting student members has been determined by campuswide student referendum. The student members serve a term of one year beginning on July 1 of each year. In the installation of voting members of the Board, we tend to emphasize the duality of responsibility of the Trustees: on the one hand, a deep interest and loyal support of the University and, on the other, a stewardship in behalf of the people of Illinois, a difficult interrelationship which each Trustee must define and carry out for himself. It is, however, appropriate that the same duality be kept before us in the role of the student trustee as well. Inevitably, the student member feels a kinship and accountability to the student body he represents; on the other hand, no less than any of us, his view of the University and its service necessarily must be broader than any one student constituency or any one campus. This is a challenging perspective for all of us to maintain and a learning process for all of us. As President of the Board, I welcome you to this fellowship of responsibility and invite your interest and contribution to the deliberations of this Board.

The new trustees are Mr. Robert K. Conlon, Medical Center campus; Mr. Stuart D. Summers, Urbana-Champaign campus; and Mr. Steven Szegho, Chicago Circle campus.

The Secretary presented for approval the press proofs of the minutes of the Board of Trustees meetings of October 16, November 13, and December 18, 1974, copies of which had previously been sent to the Board. On motion of Mr. Livingston, these minutes were approved as printed on pages 81 to 142 inclusive.
