By John L. Snyder News Editor Newly elected Governor of Illinois Jim Edgar spoke about education to nearly 700 stu-dents, faculty, administrators and community leaders gath-ered for Illinois Wesleyan's Founder's Day Convocation in Presser Hall on Wednesday, Feb. 20. The ceremony com-memorated the 141 years of the university's existence as an higher educaiton institution. Edgar, who received an hon-orary Doctor of Laws degree from Wesleyan, focused chief-ly on the importance of educa-tion in Illinois and his intent to be the "education governor." He called on the state to "meet the technological advances that are sure to follow in the twenty-firt century." The governor noted that the sciences and engineering are vital areas of future concern, as he cited trends pointing to an ongoing "brain drain" of Illi-nois academic talent. "Change is occurring more dramatically and more quick-ly than ever before," said Edgar. "Our educational system must likewise grow so Illinois continues to be in the vanguard of change." Partnership among educa-tional institutions, parents and the business community is one way Edgar hopes to halt the de-parture of promising Illinois college graduates who are leaving the state in ever-in-creasing numbers. The governor believes that providing more summer in-ternships will keep the "cream of the crop" students working in Illinois. "The choice is ours See Edgar page 3
