During this landmark year, the administration, faculty, staff, students, and alumni can take pride in their contributions to the school's proud heritage. Clearly, this fine institution of higher learning will thrive and flourish for many years to come; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, applaud Bowling Green State University on a century of exemplary education and extend best wishes for ongoing success; and be it further |
