CHANCELLOR HENRY T. HEALD i ' lvl-jj' f jp, l A Tribufe 'Io 'I'he Chancellor 'l'I'I Ii Cl'IANCIiLLOR RICLAXES Everyone who has worked with Dr. Henry T. Heald remembers it as a stimulating experience. His was the guiding spirit and motivating force that lifted Illinois Institute of Technology to the place of recognition it enjoys today. He was the first president of Illinois Tech and his name became a synonym for the institution. The creation of a new Tech campus was one-third of the way toward completion when he left to become Chancellor of New York University. Without his initiative, vision and untiring efforts, it might never have been more than a dream. Dr. Heald's ability to inspire his associates to outstanding performances, as well as his knowledge of human relations, are important assets. He believes in definite, fundamental principles. What some sophisticated persons might call tru- isms or cliches are Dr. Heald's rules for living and working. His broad interests and activities are rather overwhelming. In education and civic affairs, Dr. Heald's accomplishments are many. He is an advocate of cooperation between education and industry, and has served as a director of numerous com- panies. Dr. Heald has taken an active part in land clearance and urban redevelopment projects, and has given of himself unsellishly in religious work. Chicago and the Illinois Institute of Technology regretted their loss of Dr. Henry T. Heald, but they were happy to see him receive an opportunity to be of service elsewhere. Those who know him well are certain that he will be appreciated as Chancellor of New York University, as much as he was as President olf the Illinois Institute of Technology. DR. JOHN T. RETTALIATA Presidenf, ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 9
