appointment in the President’s Office. Except for a two-year leave of
absence in which he served as executive assistant to Governor Stratton
and to Governor Kerner, he has served continuously in this legisla-
tive capacity in the interest of the University.
He has been, as well, the chairman and vice-chairman of the Illinois
Toll Road Advisory Commission, for sixteen years, and continues to
serve on the Illinois Commission for Economic Development.
It is not possible to effectively recount the multitude of daily servires
rendered the University by Bill Rice in the course of his work in
Springfield. In brief, he rvas always there, at critical moments, to
promote the interests of higher education and of the University.
Sometimes the services were momentary but of considerable signifi-
cance - in the appropriation process, in the correction of error, in
dealing with emergency. It has been a notable record and one for
which the Board of Trustees gladly expresses its appreciation.
The secretary was directed to arrange for prescntation of this resolution to
Mr. Rice at a time and location convenient to him. (The resolution will
be presented at the July board meeting at the Urbana-Champaign cam-
PUS.)
REGULAR AGENDA
The board considered the following reports and recommendations from
the president of the University. (At this point, President Forsyth recog-
nized Mr. Timothy W. Swain of Peoria, for many years a member as well
as president of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Swain spoke briefly of his con-
tinued interest in the University and his pleasure in the board meeting
at Peoria.)

public accountant be awarded, under Section 5 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of
1943, as amended, to ten candidates who have presented evidence that they are
holders of valid and unrevoked certified public accountant certificates obtained by
passing a standard written examination in another state or territory of the United
States and who qualify in all other respects under this provision of the law The
