A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION | Honoring the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 on its
Centennial.
|
| WHEREAS, The members of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio
are pleased to commend the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 on the
auspicious occasion of its One Hundredth Anniversary; and |
| WHEREAS, Recognition of this prestigious milestone is a
fitting tribute to the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, for it has held an
important place in American history. The Morrill Act of 1862 was
instrumental in the creation of public and land-grant colleges and
universities, and in 1914, Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and
Representative A.F. Lever of South Carolina introduced legislation
that established and partially funded a national cooperative
extension system to expand the vocational, agricultural, and home
economics programs offered to rural America through these
colleges. Signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on May 8,
1914, the Smith-Lever Act was later amended to include schools
beyond the original land-grant institutions and the tribal
colleges of Native Americans, and its Centennial is being
celebrated with activities at the national, state, and local
levels; and |
| WHEREAS, The State of Ohio has benefited greatly from the
Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Founded in 1870, The Ohio State
University is Ohio's land-grant institution of higher learning,
and the act has helped the OSU Extension bring education,
information, and training to people in agriculture-related fields
in our state and nation; and |
| WHEREAS, The spirit of our nation is founded upon, and
reflected in, its exciting and colorful past, and the
memorializing of significant landmarks and events is vital to the
preservation of America's heritage. All those involved with the
observance of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Smith-Lever Act
of 1914 are to be applauded for their tremendous efforts to ensure
that the important details of our past are transmitted to
succeeding generations for their reflection and appreciation;
therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 130th General Assembly
of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, honor the Smith-Lever Act of
1914 on its One Hundredth Anniversary and encourage all citizens
to reflect on the significance of the landmark legislation; and be
it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly
authenticated copies of this Resolution to the news media of Ohio. |
