                 RECOGNIZING THE LIFE OF DR. RAY FARLEY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
the life of Dr. Ray Farley, the former president of Young Harris 
College.
  Dr. Farley was a long-time supporter of Young Harris College, with 35 
years of dedicated service to Young Harris under his belt.
  Beginning as a professor of history in 1955, Dr. Farley worked with 
the college until his retirement in 1991, after serving as the college 
president for 20 years. For some of those years I was a student at 
Young Harris College while Dr. Farley was the president. I got to know 
him well. He was a fine gentleman and did an excellent job.
  During his tenure as president, Dr. Farley made it his mission to 
modernize and expand the services and facilities at Young Harris. He 
was responsible for taking important steps to strengthen the college 
endowment, faculty, curriculum, and facilities.
  Dr. Farley implemented his plan for helping to beautify the campus as 
well by renovating dining facilities, resident halls, and 
administrative buildings. The years with Dr. Farley at the helm were 
integral to the growth and development of the college itself.
  In April of 2021, Dr. Farley was awarded the Outstanding Friend Award 
by the Young Harris College Alumni Association for his incredible 
dedication and service to the college. His legacy and impact will be 
felt for many years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I send my condolences to his family and friends as well 
as the whole Young Harris community.
