     HONORING TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY UPON ITS 150TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to honor Texas 
Christian University's 150th anniversary.
  In 1873, the Randolph and Addison Clark brothers had a bold vision to 
create a university that would educate individuals to be leaders for 
the future with the highest levels of character and responsibility.
  Over the years, TCU delivered on that mission and has been a beacon 
of strong educational values for the world to see. The staff and 
leaders throughout the years have been instrumental in building a 
brighter and better future for all Horned Frogs.
  As a proud alumnus of the university, I can speak to how vital my 
experience at TCU was to the rest of my life. TCU may look different 
now than when I was there in the 1960s and 1970s, but the spirit of 
innovation, achievement, and a shared sense of purpose have remained 
the same.
  TCU has always embraced our rich history while also looking to what 
is next. Whether it be campus transformation, expanding our excellent 
academic programs, or bringing our sports teams to new levels of 
victory, TCU has always embraced a bold vision for the future.

  Today, TCU stands as a world-class university. As the student and 
alumni community come together to remember our special heritage, may we 
recommit ourselves to the original mission of TCU and continue to 
deliver on our success, guided by our faith and passion for the 
fighting TCU Horned Frogs.
  I have no doubt TCU will continue to lead on for the next 150 years.
  Riff, ram, bah, zoo. Go Frogs. In God we trust.
