                             DARTON COLLEGE

  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, today I rise to recognize an 
outstanding institution in my home state of Georgia, Darton College.
  Recently, I was contacted by one of the school's students who wrote 
to express his pride and support of his school and the educational 
opportunity that he is being provided. Mr. President, it is my belief 
that the finest accolade a school can receive is the praise of its 
students and, in turn, their success.
  There are many battles on the American playing field each day, in the 
business world, political world, the judicial world, but none can be 
more important than those being fought in the classrooms of our 
learning institutions. Because, after all, our nation depends on these 
educational institutions to provide us with the necessary tools to win 
the other battles we encounter in our lifetime.
  Mr. President, with that in mind, I would like to express my support 
for continued success and prosperity for past, current and future 
students, faculty and staff of Darton College.
