     Honoring the national contributions of the Missouri School of 
      Journalism in Columbia, Missouri, on its 100th Anniversary.

Whereas the Missouri School of Journalism (``the School'') opened its doors on 
        September 14, 1908, becoming the world's first school of journalism;
Whereas beginning with the publication of the University Missourian that day, 
        the School has exemplified its ``Missouri Method'' of hands-on training 
        at the multiple professional media outlets affiliated with the school;
Whereas the School's pioneering endeavors continued in 1921 and 1934 with the 
        awarding of the first master's and doctoral degrees, respectively, in 
        journalism;
Whereas the School's more than 20,000 alumni have become leaders in professions 
        throughout journalism and mass communication and in academe;
Whereas since its inception, the School has welcomed students from more than 79 
        countries around the globe;
Whereas the free press plays an integral role in our society, as a champion of 
        freedom and watchdog of liberty; and
Whereas the achievements of the School are a mark of pride for its students, 
        faculty, the State of Missouri, and the Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the United States House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, 
        Missouri, on the celebration of its 100th Anniversary; and
            (2) recognizes the important contributions of the Missouri 
        School of Journalism to the Nation.
