Board of Truflfe: 0 the Student of llinoi The University of Illinois is an institution of scholarship and research, dedicated to the service of the state and nation. This notable agency of the state would not be possible had it not been for the visicn of men of other days and the heritage left by them, A foundation, secure and sound, was thus laid and an institution created devoted to public welfare. The investment made by the state in creating the Univer- sity of Illinois has proven an excellent one and the dividends have been large. The great task must be carried on these days, mere intensified and perplexing, to the end that the Uni- versity may make its services effective in .1 complex: civilization. The administration of the University is in charge of forward looking men and women with the vision of its founders, and the people of the state may view its work with confidence and pride. In extending its greetings to the students and friends of the University, the Board of Trustees de- sires the continued cooperation of the state, the stu- dents, the alumni and faculty in further advancing this great enterprise in higher education.
