  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, is celebrating 200 years of 
excellence in advanced education and character development; and
  Whereas, liberal arts institutions are essential to the progress of 
arts and sciences and important to morality, virtue and religion in any 
society; and
  Whereas, the General Assembly of the State of Ohio met in 
Chillicothe, Ohio, to establish a university in the town of Athens by 
the name and style of ``Ohio University'' on February 18, 1804;
  Therefore, I join with the residents of Ross County and the entire 
18th Congressional District in celebrating Ohio University's 
Bicentennial Anniversary.
