THE U W. NIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ILLIO OF 'I93 GEORGE A, BARR Zllevtiny of the Board, November 16, 1931 President, Board of fl'1'ustee.v TO THE STUDENTS OF ILLINOIS W., TAKE pleasure in extending to you the greetings of the members of the Board of Trustees. You ffrf Af are fortunate in havinff the rivilefre of obtaining an education in the health environment which I f j an P o o y , X ,4s. . . . . . . . lvzgjtgjegdb exists at the Unlverslty of Ill1no1s. I congratulate the class of 1932 for continuing the custom of publishing THE ILLIO, and giving through it an intimate glimpse of the students' side of the I7': lfJ University. Your publication, like the University, has made great progress since the first issue appeared thirty-seven years ago. I take a personal pride in THE ILLIO because, while a student at Illinois, I served as editor of the volume published by my class. In the years that have intervened, I have observed with satisfaction and pleasure the improvements that have been made year by year in the quality of this excellent book. It has kept step with the growth and improvement of the University itself. It is a credit to our Alma Mater. What our University has done in the past is history, and her sons and daughters are proud of her accom- plishments. Its growth and influence in the future rest largely on the work of those who are now students and those who shall pass through its halls in the years to come. You have an important responsibility. The Trustees extend to you their best wishes for that joy which comes from work well done, and invite your co-operation and interest both as students and later as alumni and citizens in the welfare and future President, Board of Trustees ' 1.

The univer- siiy is a place where people grow up menially, morally, and emofionally. I+ is, il' seems Io me.
