The Bronze Tablets in the Main Library’s first-floor north–south corridor are being reorganized to reflect chronological order and allow for future additions. The tablets will be temporarily unavailable for viewing during this project. Reinstallation is anticipated in mid-July.
The University of Illinois began the tradition of inscribing the Bronze Tablets with the names of students receiving University Honors in 1925. The Bronze Tablets recognize sustained academic achievement by undergraduate students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Students must have at least a 3.5 cumulative grade point average through the academic term prior to graduation and rank in the top 3% of their graduating class.
