       CELEBRATING 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Madam Speaker, I rise this evening to celebrate the 200th 
anniversary of the University of Cincinnati.
  In 1819, roughly 70 students were enrolled in what was then called 
the Cincinnati College. Today, nearly 46,000 students are enrolled at 
UC.
  None other than Thomas Edison once credited UC with being important 
to the development of his education. President William Howard Taft, who 
later became Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and is, by the 
way, the only American to hold both those offices, was educated at UC 
Law, as was Nicholas Longworth IV, who went on to represent Ohio's 
First Congressional District and later served as Speaker of this very 
House.
  On a personal note, my wife, Donna, is a UC grad, as is our daughter, 
Erica, who graduated from UC's DAAP program.
  We are fortunate to have such a tremendous, fine institution in our 
community.
  Congratulations to the University of Cincinnati for achieving this 
significant milestone, and best of luck for another 200 years.
