                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I'm honored to recognize York College of 
Pennsylvania on its 50th Anniversary.
  Higher education in York County first began in 1767, when Reverend 
John Andrews established York County Academy to teach German immigrants 
English, Latin, and Greek. In 1873, the York Collegiate Institute 
opened its doors after generous donations from Samuel Small. The two 
schools merged in 1941 to form the present York College of 
Pennsylvania, and established its accredited Bachelor's Degree program 
in 1968.
  Today, York College of Pennsylvania offers more than fifty 
baccalaureate majors in various professional programs, the sciences and 
humanities. The College also offers Master's programs in business, 
education and nursing, as well as a Doctoral program in nursing 
practice. A faculty of 154 full-time professors educates over five 
thousand students from across the Country.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm privileged to commemorate York College of 
Pennsylvania as it celebrates its 50th Anniversary. On behalf of a 
grateful community, I thank the College faculty and staff for their 
tireless service to the community, and their dedication to educating 
many generations of Americans.
