  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a great 
institution of higher education, Patrick Henry College, on the occasion 
of its 20th anniversary.
  Through a commitment to high academic rigor, a fidelity to the spirit 
of the American founding, and an unwavering worldview grounded in 
biblical principles, Patrick Henry College has attracted excellent 
students from all 50 states and distinguished itself by forming alumni 
marked by their grace, humility, and wisdom.
  Since its founding in 2000, Patrick Henry College has placed 
graduates in the White House and as clerks for four U.S. Supreme Court 
justices. Many alumni can be found leading in various roles of public 
service and helping to make our country and the world a better place.
  It has captured 12 national moot court championships, the Nelson 
Mandela world championship, and last year was crowned national civic 
debate champion.
  The United States of America is a better place because of the work of 
its alumni in the public square. I want to honor Michael Farris for 
having the vision and determination to plant Patrick Henry College for 
the purpose of educating future leaders and equipping them to have a 
strong Christian influence in their communities and the culture at 
large. I am

confident that President Jack Haye and Dean Mark Mitchell will continue 
to lead Patrick Henry College with integrity and a steadfast commitment 
to faith and reason.
   And I thank those alumni from my home state of Tennessee--Philip 
Bunn, Candace Curet, Jon De Troye, Noah Farley, Kayla Ferguson nee 
Griesemer, Jae Jared, Andrew Luchuk, Will McManus, Nathan Mingus, Shane 
Roberts, Justine Van Ness, and Timothy Wier.
  Patrick Henry College has proven its worth over the past two decades, 
and I look forward to seeing this institution continue its work of 
forming young men and women of exemplary character and intellect for 
many years to come.
