                               RESOLUTION


 
Honoring the Fordham University School of Law upon the occasion of its 
                           100th Anniversary.

Whereas it is the sense of the House of Representatives to recognize and commend 
        those American universities which have achieved world renown and brought 
        pride and honor to our Nation through their traditions of academic 
        excellence;
Whereas attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-standing 
        traditions, the House of Representatives is justly proud to honor the 
        Fordham University School of Law upon the occasion of its 100th 
        Anniversary;
Whereas on September 28, 1905, the Fordham University School of Law opened its 
        door in the City of New York to 13 students; since that time it has 
        evolved into one of the largest, most diverse and most respected law 
        schools in the Nation, with nearly 1,600 students and over 200 full-time 
        and adjunct faculty;
Whereas to commemorate this milestone in the life of the school and the 
        educational history of the City and State of New York and the Nation, 
        the Fordham University School of Law has designed a year-long 
        celebration commencing on September 28, 2005;
Whereas the Fordham University School of Law's Centennial Celebration will 
        feature symposia, lectures, galas and, in keeping with its dedication to 
        serving others, a commitment by its alumni, faculty, and students to 
        contribute 100,000 hours of public pro bono work to help those that are 
        less fortunate;
Whereas for 100 years, the Fordham University School of Law has been defined by 
        unparalleled standards of learning and has produced countless leaders 
        throughout the world; and
Whereas with great admiration, the House of Representatives is proud to pay 
        tribute to this eminent university which stands at the threshold of the 
        future with its legacy of outstanding achievements and its impressive 
        body of distinguished alumni: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) the House of Representatives honors the Fordham 
        University School of Law upon the occasion of its 100th 
        Anniversary, fully confident that in its future, it will enjoy 
        the same success which has so characterized its past; and
            (2) a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be 
        transmitted to the Fordham University School of Law.
                                 <all>
