I License Plates Honor College I < Issuance of the blue and white multi-year Illinois license plates last month was an historic occasion in more ways than one. Secretary of State Alan J. Dixon said The new plates mark the inauguration of the Dixon- sponsorfcd multi-year, staggered registration program that will save Illinois an estimated $21 million over the next five years And if that's not history enough, the blue and white color of the plates honors Illinois college of Jacksonville, the first college in the state to graduate a class, in 1835. and which in 1979 will celebrate 150 years of existence - "When we were discussing colors for the multi-year plates, it was pointed out that Illinois college was founded in '1829. and would be celebrating its selquicentennial in^ 1979." :retary Dixon sai<j/'The tie between Illinois the state and Illinois college is strengthened by the fact that the first graduate of Illinois college, in 1835, was our Civil War Governor Richard Yates.", he added Many other historical figures had roots in Illinois college William Jennings Bryan became Democratic candidate for the U.S. presidency juSt 15 years after he graduated in 1881. While no college may lay claim to the self-educated Abraham Lincoln, he was a lecturer on the campus and it is known that William Berry, his partner at New Salem. William H Herndon,.his law partner, and Ann Rutledge's brother. David, all attended Illinois college „ The number and the prominence of alumni serving their state and nation in the years of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is out of all proportion to the relatively small enrollment of Illinois college." Secretary Dixon said. "For a century and a half this historic institution indeed has provided a fountain for those who thirst for knowledge, as its' founders envisioned It honors me to hdfcor Illinois college." Illinois college's current enrollment of about 800 is closely controlled by its president,, Dr Donald Mun- dinger "A basic strength of Illinois college is its large productive endowment." Dr Mundinger said "Each year the returns from the en­ dowment plus gifts from alumni, parents, friends, businesses and industries, churches and foundations make possible lower costs for students than would otherwise be possible V Illinois college shares "oldest college" honors in Illinois with McKendree college in Lebanon McKendree was established as an institution in 1828. but Illinois college was the first to grant baccalaureat cjegrees < 18(35). "It depends^n how you define college as opposed to an academy or prep school." Dr. Mindinger said. Whatever history's per­ spective. the blue and white Illinois license plates for the next five years will honor the "Blueboys." * Lakemoor-Lilymoor Margar^ Karas 385-4934 .
