  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to help recognize the Dominican 
Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs Academy and the alumnae of the 
Academy.
  Central Ohio takes pride in its history and appreciates the 
tremendous contribution to our community and nation by the Dominican 
Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs Academy through the education and 
development of our young people. Over a hundred and seventy years have 
passed since you began the effort to educate Ohio's youth, regardless 
of creed.
  Your success in providing an outstanding academic foundation is 
personified in your illustrious alumna, Anne O'Hare McCormick. Her 
contributions to journalism testify to the quality scholarship demanded 
by the Dominican Sisters.
  May this bicentennial plaque honoring the Academy's faculty and 
alumnae, living and deceased, and their outstanding fellow alumna Ms. 
McCormick stand as a reminder to all those who see it that our nation 
has always cherished the pursuit of educational excellence.
  Congratulations on the installation of the historical marker.

                          ____________________
