BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO:


       WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to Bowling Green State University on the auspicious occasion of its One Hundredth Anniversary; and

       WHEREAS, This is a very special celebration, and congratulations are in order as this vibrant and venerable institution marks a significant milestone. Established in 1910 by the Ohio General Assembly as a state normal school, the institution opened its doors in 1914 and adopted its nickname, the Falcons, in 1927. On April 2, 1929, the General Assembly officially made the instution a state college, which the trustees divided into the College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts, and in accordance with another state bill passing in 1935, the school became Bowling Green State University. Today, BGSU provides a host of opportunities to countless students through its eight colleges by offering them outstanding curricula, instruction, and facilities; and

       WHEREAS, To their credit, Bowling Green State University's expert faculty members and conscientious, dedicated administrators have always insisted upon exacting academic standards, and they merit praise for preparing people of all ages for fulfilling occupations and rewarding positions in our complex society. Enthusiastically acclaimed, the university has steadily grown in stature as an exciting hub of intellectual discovery and an indispensable scholastic center for the exchange of ideas and information; and

       WHEREAS, Bowling Green State University can be depended upon to produce a sizable number of qualified leaders who are ready to assume key roles in a wide array of fields and professions, and it inspires confidence that it will tenaciously maintain its long tradition of academic excellence. 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

       RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to Bowling Green State University.
