Congratulating the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine 
  for its 150 years of commitment to advancing science and improving 
                                health.

Whereas, on March 12, 1859, the origins of Northwestern University Feinberg 
        School of Medicine began with Drs. Hosmer A. Johnson, Edmund Andrews, 
        Ralph N. Isham, and David Rutter signing an agreement to establish the 
        medical department of Lind University, which provided the first graded 
        curriculum in a medical school in the United States;
Whereas, on October 9, 1859, the medical school marked its first session;
Whereas, on April 26, 1864, the medical department of Lind University became 
        Chicago Medical College;
Whereas in 1870, Chicago Medical College entered into an agreement with 
        Northwestern University to serve as the Department of Medicine for the 
        University;
Whereas in 2002, the Northwestern University Board of Trustees renamed the 
        medical school in honor of benefactor Reuben Feinberg;
Whereas the Feinberg School of Medicine is one of the pre-eminent medical 
        schools in the Nation, producing the next generation of leaders in 
        medical and related fields through its innovative research and 
        educational programs;
Whereas the Feinberg School of Medicine supports the provision of the highest 
        standard of clinical care by its clinical affiliates for their patients;
Whereas the Feinberg School of Medicine is cited annually in national college 
        rankings as one of the top medical schools for research;
Whereas Feinberg School of Medicine alumni are leaders in their fields;
Whereas the Feinberg School of Medicine is a leader in aligning experts from 
        various disciplines to create a collaborative research enterprise that 
        explores the fertile discovery space between disciplines; and
Whereas Feinberg School of Medicine faculty are nationally and internationally 
        prominent physicians and scientists who have an impact on the most 
        pressing medical and research issues: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates the Feinberg School of Medicine on the 
        momentous occasion of its 150th anniversary, and expresses best 
        wishes for continued success;
            (2) recognizes and commends the Feinberg School of Medicine 
        for its dedication to educating world class physicians and 
        scientists, sponsoring cutting edge medical research, and 
        providing highly specialized clinical care; and
            (3) directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit an 
        enrolled copy of this resolution to the Feinberg School of 
        Medicine for appropriate display.
