                       Thursday, February 5, 2015

  Mr. SCHOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to mark the 150th anniversary of 
Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois, which is celebrating the creation 
of its charter on February 8th, 2015. Lincoln College is a private 
liberal arts college established in 1865 to fill the need for an 
institution of higher learning in central Illinois.
   Lincoln College now has campuses in both Lincoln and Normal, 
Illinois. Lincoln College's mission is to uniquely empower students to 
realize their full potential. The College's dedicated faculty and 
exceptional student services produces graduates who are prepared to 
meet the challenges of today's 21st century economy. The students and 
alumni of Lincoln College truly live the school motto of ``Experience 
Outstanding'' through their academic performance, professional 
achievements, and commitment to improving their communities.
   Over the last 150 years, Lincoln College has become an integral part 
of the Central Illinois higher education community. I am honored to 
represent an institution with such an outstanding track record in 
academic, sporting, and leadership achievements, and I am proud to rise 
today to congratulate them on their sesquicentennial celebration.
