RECOGNITION, CHANCELLOR GERBERDING
President Forsyth, noting that the present meeting would be the last for
Chancellor Gerberding prior to his departure to assume the presidency

half of the trustees:
As you leave to assume the presidency of the University of Washington, the Board
of Trustees extends to you and to your family its hopes for the greatest success
and satisfaction in the new enterprise. The University can only be pleased to have
provided outstanding leadership for another distinguished institution. Nonetheless,
we regret that the period of our association has been all too brief. Seldom has an
administrator established himself in a position so well and so quickly as you have
as chancellor of the Urbana-Champaign campus. You have shown strength and
1 Miss Kooper was unable to attend the early part of the board meeting. Therefore, the pre-
sentahom were made during a committee meeting prior to the convening of the board.
