The University of Illinois The administration of a great modern university is complex. The University itself is complex, necessarily so because of the many different types of things it must do. The work of a great university like Illinois not only involves teaching, it includes also a tremendous program of research, and it provides many special services for citizens. Illinois was one of those institutions established nearly a century ago under the then new idea that higher education should be avail- able to all, not only to a favored few. This idea has proved sound. The University has grown constantly, not only in size, but even more in concept and activities, as it has moved forward to meet new needs-and demands-of the people. XYhen the University opened in 1868, the kind of institution it is today was not dreamed of. Higher education did not extend into the many fields it does today. There were nowhere such laboratories and institutes as we now find on the campus. There was no concept of the many ways in which the citizens of Illinois might be served as they now are. 1 ir n ! 1 I ir, ind illrtrlffr nl milflnlt of wrffrflfffllnrlffirzi ftitimliq Dr. J.
