                   TRIBUTE TO PROF. GOBERDHAN BHAGAT

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Dr. 
Goberdhan Bhagat on the occasion of his retirement as professor of 
political science at the University of Mississippi.
  A native of India, Professor Bhagat received the bachelor of arts 
degree from Tej Narian Jubilee College, and the master of arts degree 
from Patna University. He distinguished himself as an adviser to the 
Indian delegation to the United Nations in the early 1960's during 
which time he earned another master of arts degree and the doctor of 
philosophy degree from Yale University. He joined the faculty of the 
University of Mississippi in 1964.
  During his 30 years of dedicated service, Dr. Bhagat taught thousands 
of students and brought a special international perspective to his 
academic department and to the university. His enduring influence might 
be described in the words of Rabindranath Tagore, that great poet of 
India, who wrote on visiting Yale University that--

     Years mature into fruit
     So that some small seeds of moments
     May outlive them.

  His colleagues and students will long remember their moments with 
Goberdhan Bhagat, and the seeds of those moments will endure.
