Dr. A.R. Eveloff co-founded the Springfield Clinic in 1939 and served as a pediatrician for over 50 years. He believed in “going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the health and well-being of patients and to continually strive for excellence in the delivery of health care” (quoted from the Springfield Clinic website, under “Eveloff Award”). Seventy years later, the Springfield Clinic has become and remains Illinois' second largest privatemulti-specialty clinic. Vivian Eveloff was a renowned Springfield artist, producing a vast body of work characterized by her outstanding sense of design and her invented and complex use of patterns. According to UIS professor emeritus Larry Shiner, “Vivian's art spans seven decades, during which she consistently turned the ordinary world around her into extraordinary images.” Shehas many exhibits to her credit, including a large exhibit at UIS in 2004. Now, to remember these remarkable Springfield community members, the Eveloffs' daughter and son-in-law Gail and Wally El-Beck and son Paul Eveloff have instituted a scholarship for an art student. “My mother loved UIS,” Gail says, “and loved interacting with the students there.” The scholarship will be awarded to a student with financial need.
