                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 23, 1996

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute Wendell Rayburn, 
president of Lincoln University, who will be leaving after 8\1/2\ years 
of service. A leader in education in our State, President Rayburn has 
also been active in the community of Jefferson City. His most important 
achievement has been his commitment to greater stress on scholarship 
and academics. President Rayburn successfully led Lincoln University 
from its budget deficit and put it on a solid fiscal basis.
  Further, his leadership led to new construction and higher level of 
maintenance. Dormitories were renovated and a new library was 
completed. Also he introduced new technology into the classroom. 
Wendell Rayburn's leadership and commitment to excellence will be 
missed.
