                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 3, 2010

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of LSU and its 
many achievements over the last 150 years.
  As a graduate of LSU medical school, I can attest to the excellence 
and professionalism of the faculty and to the spirited campus 
atmosphere that is rivaled by few in the world.
  LSU continues capturing the hearts of its students just as it was 
since it first opened its doors in 1860. It is a place with a unique 
culture, rich in tradition and quality. Originally serving as a war 
college, LSU has grown into the flagship university of Louisiana.
  Through its seven institutions of higher learning, as well as its 
distinguished faculty, LSU prepares countless students for the careers 
of distinction in Louisiana and around the world. LSU also celebrates a 
number of athletic achievements, including football, baseball, and 
track and field national championships.
  In addition to its academic and athletic successes, the LSU system 
goes above and beyond to serve the people of Louisiana. From its 
tireless efforts in the aftermath of the 2005 hurricanes to its various 
community outreach programs, LSU makes a great deal of difference in 
the many communities it serves.
  Throughout the years, LSU has persevered to become one of the leading 
educational institutions in the country. It continues to uphold 
excellence at every level and sets a very worthy goal of reaching the 
upper level of national prominence by the end of 2010.
  It is my pleasure to recognize Louisiana State University and join 
with the thousands of current students and alumni to celebrate 150 
years of excellence. Geaux Tigers!
