EUREKA COLLEGE PRESIDENT GEORGE HEARNE ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Eureka College President George A. Hearne announced that he will retire on 
May 31, 2004, after 19 years in his current role and 44 years at the college.

"The timing for this decision seems right," Hearne said. "In the 2004-05 
academic year, Eureka College will celebrate its 150th year. What better 
time could there be to celebrate both its past history and the beginning of 
a new era under new leadership?" For more information from Eureka College
