GRANTS FOR INSTITUTE OF LABOR AND
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS BUILDING
(36) The Trustees of the William Green Memorial Fund (the Green Fund was
established in memory of the late President of the American Federation of
Labor) approved a grant of $50,000 to the University to finance in part the
construction of a building for the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations.
This grant, which was secured with the assistance of President Reuben
Soderstrom of the Illinois State Federation of Labor, has been made contingent
upon the raising of additional funds by July I, 1959.
The International Executive Board of the United Steel Workers of America
at a recent meeting made a grant of $50,000 to the University for this same
project. In fact, President David J. McDonald of the United Steel Workers
of America has sent the University, through Director R. W. Fleming of the
Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, a check for this amount. The money
has been deposited in the Business Office in a special trust account for this project.
This report was received for record.

RESOLUTIONS
At this point President Livingston announced that three members of
the Board had resolutions they desired to present.
Mrs. Watkins offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
To Josef F. Wright
The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois expresses its grateful
appreciation of your services in the public information work of the University
in the thirty-eight years from 1919 to 1957.
After serving for one year as assistant to President David Kinley you
were appointed as the first person to devote full time to keeping the University
before the people. Pioneering in this field, you made a significant contribution
by improving relations between the University and the people of Illinois. Your
loyal service in bringing to the attention of the State and the Nation the teaching
resources of the University and its research accomplishments has brought
recognition and distinction to this institution.
The President and other administrative officers of the University join the
members of the Board of Trustees in extending best wishes to you and Mrs.
Wright for the years to come.
