| WHEREAS, Education is vital to our nation's continued economic and social well-being, and as the need for global learning and understanding increases, so do the demands placed upon our system of education. Since its inception, the Morrill Land-Grant Act has helped schools throughout the United States consistently and effectively meet these demands, and we are certain that their teachers and administrators will continue in their unfaltering dedication to helping students become capable and well-rounded individuals; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862 on its Sesquicentennial; and be it further |
