           HONORING 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF NAZARETH UNIVERSITY

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th 
anniversary of Nazareth University, led by my dear friend, President 
Beth Paul, which was founded in 1924 by members of the Sisters of St. 
Joseph, a group with which I proudly share a name.
  The five founding sisters saw the school as an opportunity to respond 
to the needs of the time and provide women with educational 
opportunities.
  On September 24, 1924, Nazareth's initial class of 25 began their 
studies in the glass house on Lake Avenue, a date we now recognize as 
Naz Day.
  They set out to create success against all odds, and by every 
measure, it has been an outstanding success.
  One hundred years later, they have grown to a 150-acre campus, with 
nearly 2,500 students in more than 80 academic programs. The legacy of 
the Sisters of St. Joseph lives on through Nazareth's success, and I am 
proud to support their continued growth and prosperity.
  Madam Speaker, here is to the next 100 years.
