People .. People. People are what make a good college great. Not books. Not bricks. People. Illinois College has been blessed with people. Good people. Throughout the faculty and administration, one finds many of these people, willing to help and assist in any way possible. One of these Illinois College ‘“‘people’’ is Professor Ted King. Since his arrival on the campus in 1975, Prof. King has served as an inspiration to both students and faculty of the college. His outlook towards education and life itself is a welcome change from the aloofness often associated with higher education. His open relationship towards his students has caused him some personal hardships. Many students have called the Business Admin- istration Economics department chairman with late night questions. Taking it in stride, Prof. King answers their questions, chuckles, and thanks them for calling. Campus and community alike were saddened when Prof. King was sticken by illness this past winter. But with his personal strength and his courageous spirit his strongest allies, Ted King is fighting back. The example he has set is one we should all heed. Prof. King and Illinois College have much in common. Both possess a personal charm that is unique in higher education. Both are vital parts of the Jacksonville community. But more importantly, both have shown the ability to weather the bad times as well as the good. It is with these thoughts in mind that the 1980 Rig Veda is dedi- cated to Professor Theodore I. King for his years of service to Illinois College and the Jacksonville community. DUTY Pel Ox!T 17
