   Congratulating Silver Lake College for 75 years of service as an 
             undergraduate institution of higher education.

Whereas Silver Lake College was founded in the late 1800s by the Franciscan 
        Sisters of Christian Charity as an academy and normal school;
Whereas the State of Wisconsin issued the charter designating Silver Lake 
        College, then named Holy Family College, as an undergraduate institution 
        of higher education in 1935;
Whereas Silver Lake College is a four-year Catholic liberal arts college, 
        located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin;
Whereas Silver Lake College currently serves 1,253 students and offers a 7 to 1 
        student to teacher ratio;
Whereas students at Silver Lake College can earn degrees in 11 different 
        programs and 24 different areas of study; and
Whereas Silver Lake College emphasizes a professional education with a liberal 
        arts experience and encourages life-long learning and moral and 
        community leadership: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates Silver Lake College for 75 years of 
        service as an undergraduate institution of higher education; 
        and
            (2) commends Silver Lake College for providing education 
        and training to the people of Wisconsin for over 75 years.
