  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to commemorate 
the 100-year anniversary of female admittance into William Jewell 
College. Through its history, the progressive institution has 
prioritized individual expression and creative thinking. Today, William 
Jewell is recognized for producing innovative thought-leaders making an 
impact in Missouri communities and beyond.
  Founded in 1849 in Liberty, Missouri, William Jewell College prides 
itself in fostering an environment for students of diverse backgrounds 
to thrive. Jewell holds true to its founding vision as an institution 
that develops high-achieving leaders who shape a changing world. After 
four-years, Jewell graduates leave with an arsenal of knowledge, 
creativity, and fundamental leadership skills.
  Since the 1920-1921 academic school year, William Jewell has 
encouraged women to pursue a co-education at the same level as men. 
More than 12,000 women have walked the halls of William Jewell in 
pursuit of a world class education. Not only does this milestone 
recognize the talented pool of William Jewell alumna, but the future 
female leaders eager to follow in their footsteps.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing 100 Years 
of Women at William Jewell College. William Jewell's century-long 
investment in women is reflected in the people of Missouri's Sixth 
Congressional District's commitment to educational prosperity.
