       IN CELEBRATION OF 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF COLGATE UNIVERSITY

  (Mr. BRINDISI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRINDISI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join our community in 
celebrating the 200th anniversary of Colgate University's founding. 
Located in Madison County in upstate New York, Colgate was officially 
established by New York State in 1819.
  For 200 years, the university has exemplified all the best American 
higher education has to offer. It has produced many graduates of 
national acclaim, including business professionals, community leaders, 
Members of Congress--including two current Members of Congress--and 
other government officials.
  Colgate has taught some of the brightest minds in our country and now 
educates more than 2,900 students each year in 56 different majors. I 
am proud to represent this excellent institution in Congress, and I 
join the Colgate community in celebrating their bicentennial.
