                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 19, 2006

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Seton Hall University on the occasion of their 150th anniversary. The 
University is located in South Orange, New Jersey and is a community of 
1,500 employees, 10,000 students, and 70,000 distinguished alumni. From 
the university's humble beginnings as a small local diocesan college, 
Seton Hall has grown into New Jersey's largest Catholic university. 
Founding Reverend, Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, had not only a 
patriotic attachment but also a personal one to the school's namesake: 
Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born saint and his aunt. 
Using her devotion to values-based education as a guide, Seton Hall 
embarked on their noble mission to educate young minds in New Jersey.
  The university has remained a steady ground for its faculty and 
students, even through catastrophes like fire and war, always 
remembering their motto, ``No Matter What the Hazard, Yet Forward.'' 
This resilient spirit has seen Seton Hall through these historic 150 
years and will surely carry them into a bright future. Seton Hall is 
recognized as a leader in educational technology and will continue to 
attract the best and the brightest to their campus.
  As reflected in their mission, Seton Hall students are not only 
prepared with a well-rounded education but also a unique focus on 
service that prepares them to become citizen leaders in their 
professional and community lives.
  I congratulate Seton Hall University on their 150th anniversary and 
encourage them to remain vigilant on their mission to mold intelligent 
and ethical scholars.
