Declaration, Charles Johnson - Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Dr. Purdy that the following declaration in memory of Charles Johnson be approved by the Council: DECIARATION IN MEMORY OF CHARLES JOHNSON The tragic death of acting University of Oregon President Charles Johnson leaves a I significant void in our community. 'l His deep commitment to the administration of his office resulted from the personal I I oonviction that his role was to enable each member of the University community to learn , I and grow. It is evident that this should be the function of every commun~~y. Mr. Johnson's efforts to preserve and enhance the University's goals resulted in a year of reasonable calm. He was aided by those students and others who were inspired to confidence in his leadership. We should resist the inclination to regard the University of Oregon as ~ separate entity within the city of Eugene. The City is the University and the University is the City. Charles Johnson recognized this fact, and considered his charges as citizens first....with a responsibility to the community. We are grateful for his contribution to our civilization, and resolve to keep the prin- ciples of his commitment as a framework for a better life.
