               IN RECOGNITION OF JOHN ROUSH'S RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 1, 2020

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. John A. 
Roush on his retirement as president of Centre College in Danville, 
Kentucky.
  President Roush often told his students, ``Do your best. Be your 
best. No regrets.'' I have had the privilege of getting to know 
President Roush during my time representing Danville and Centre College 
in Congress, and I can undoubtedly say that President Roush always did 
his best. I have always admired his work and appreciated his advice, 
particularly when I served as chairman of the Higher Education 
subcommittee. During his 22 years at Centre College, he oversaw a 40 
percent growth in the student body population, without sacrificing 
quality of education or Centre's liberal arts values. He has helped 
build Centre's national reputation. My colleagues might know Centre as 
the host of not one, but two vice presidential debates during his time 
as president. President Roush's legacy will live on at Centre College 
for generations to come.
  Today is not only the first day of President Roush's retirement, but 
also his birthday. I congratulate him on his retirement, and I wish him 
and his wife Susie the best.
