  Mr. MARKEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Regis College of 
Weston, Massachusetts on its 75th anniversary.
  Founded in 1927 by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Joseph of 
Boston, Regis College is one of the leading Catholic liberal arts and 
sciences college for women. With more than 10,000 graduates world wide, 
the Regis college curriculum provides an intellectual base from which 
its students can acquire the values, ideas, techniques and habits which 
allow continual self-education. Regis College is committed to exploring 
the needs and problems of the changing world and thus shapes the 
liberal arts curriculum to assure graduates an excellent foundation for 
future success.
  As a women's college, Regis is devoted to building awareness of 
women's roles in society and provides a solid structure for women to 
develop into leaders of the future.
  I commend Regis College on its successes and its 75th anniversary.
