Whereas Kansas State Normal School was founded by the Kansas Legislature in 1863 
        for ``the instruction of persons, both male and female, in the art of 
        teaching, and in all the various branches that pertain to good common 
        school education, and in the mechanic arts, and in the arts of husbandry 
        and agricultural chemistry, and in the fundamental laws of the United 
        States of America, and in what regards the rights and duties of 
        citizens'';
Whereas Emporia State University has played a significant role in providing 
        higher education to the citizens of Kansas since its founding and 
        throughout its history;
Whereas Kansas State Normal School became Kansas State Teachers College in 1923, 
        Emporia Kansas State College in 1974, and Emporia State University in 
        1977;
Whereas over 75,000 alumni have served in the arts, banking, business, 
        education, engineering, finance, government, health care, information 
        management, library science, military affairs, science and technology, 
        and other occupations;
Whereas Emporia State University empowers and engages excellent intellectual 
        opportunities for the people of Kansas, the United States, and the world 
        through its nationally recognized programs;
Whereas Emporia State University brings State, regional, national, and 
        international prominence to the State of Kansas through its outstanding 
        academic, cultural, and athletic events;
Whereas Emporia State University will celebrate its sesquicentennial throughout 
        2013 under the theme, ``Changing Lives Since 1863''; and
Whereas Emporia State University will commence to celebrate its 150th 
        anniversary on Founders Day, February 15, 2013: Now, therefore, be it

Kansas, the United States, and the world.
