The David Dodds Henry Lecture Series (1972-2008) was established by the Board of Trustees, endowed by alumni gifts to the University of Illinois Foundation and administered by the Committee of Chancellors through the President's Office to support annual lectures (rotating between the Urbana and Chicago campuses) presenting new knowledge in the field of administration of higher education.
The President is the principal administrative officer of the University and a member of the faculty of each college, school, institute and division.1 The original charter designated the chief executive officer of the university as regent but this title was changed to President in 1894.2 The President is elected by the Board of Trustees and is responsible to them for the operation of the university.3 The President prepares budgets for presentation to the board, recommends persons to the Board for appointment to University positions, and is responsible for the enforcement of the rules and regulations of the University.4 On recommendation of the appropriate Senate and by authority of the Trustees, the President issues diplomas conferring degrees.5
