 CONGRATULATING ARKANSAS TECH UNIVERSITY ON ITS CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Arkansas Tech 
University on 100 years of academic excellence.
  Arkansas Tech University was originally established as a Second 
District Agricultural College by the State legislature and one of four 
State agricultural schools in 1909. Arkansas Tech University is now one 
of the fastest-growing universities in the State of Arkansas and has 
established a reputation as a school that truly serves the Nation.
  It is said that an education from Arkansas Tech University is the 
best of both worlds, big time technology and an education in a 
friendly, small-town setting.
  The school excels in exposing its students to the technology of 
tomorrow and better preparing students for future endeavors. An 
excellent faculty and staff provide an outstanding education and 
educational opportunities.
  I am proud to support this fine institution and look forward to the 
next 100 years of academic excellence.
