                CONGRATULATING CAMPBELLSVILLE UNIVERSITY

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I wish to congratulate 
Campbellsville University on receiving a $1 million challenge grant 
from the Kresge Foundation. This school merits the grant through the 
strengths of its teachers, the board of trustees, the administration 
and its student life.
  Campbellsville University, a small private college of a little over 
2,000 students, is situated in South Central Kentucky and affiliated 
with the Kentucky Baptist Convention. Its record of superb education 
has given it a place in U.S. News and World Report's, ``America's Best 
Colleges'' guide for 12 consecutive years. The Kresge Foundation cited 
the quality of the school's faculty, growing popularity, excellent 
facilities, fiscal responsibility, and effective leadership as 
determinants in the selection process.
  A challenge grant is rewarded on the condition that the recipient 
will raise a certain amount of its own funds before receiving grant 
money. The Kresge Foundation requests that the University raise nearly 
$7 million before October 1, 2005 to be awarded the grant. I have no 
doubt that Campbellsville University will meet the challenge in the way 
that it has met all others: on time, on target, and with the money.
  In considering the effort Campbellsville University puts into 
educating the future of America, I heartily agree with the Kresge 
Foundation that they deserve this grant.
