           200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the 200th 
anniversary of the founding of the University of Cincinnati, my alma 
mater.
  University of Cincinnati began as the two original chartered colleges 
by the State of Ohio. In January of 1819, the two merged into the 
esteemed university we know today.
  Cincinnati is recognized as a Carnegie Research 1 university, with 
over 300,000 alumni across the Nation, and is the home to top programs 
in both the liberal arts and the sciences.
  In 1969, Cincinnati was the first college to implement a co-op 
program, setting the stage for universities around the country, 
enhancing workforce development across America.
  It is incredible to see how far this fine institution has come: from 
two small colleges so long ago, to the home of the Nation's first 
teaching hospital, to the fourth oldest continuously operating law 
school, to its glory today.
  I know the University of Cincinnati will continue to inspire those 
who are lucky enough to call her home.
