"Ours and every generation owes a debt to those who went before. An
Illini Place enables us to grasp a sense of how it all began, the
obstacles that were overcome, the opportunities that were seized,
the people who made it happen, and the vision and values that
sustained it."--from the Foreword by Stanley O. Ikenberry,
President Emeritus of the University of Illinois
"The colorful history of the University of Illinois (U of I)
campus explored in this lavishly illustrated and pithy history. By
virtue of its expert research, its thoughtful organization and
writing, and its beautiful illustrations, it takes its place
alongside other treatments of important institutions and landmarks
of Illinois. The authors have achieved an admirable synthesis of
treating the old and new, of the venerable structures (razed and
remaining) and the modern construction and more recent
architecture. An affectionate guidebook to this prairie cathedral
and its plucky evolution." --Journal of the Illinois State
Historical Society
