                          HON. ROBERT A. BRADY

                      Wednesday, February 5, 2003

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the 
contributions of Philadelphia's own Berean Institute. Celebrating their 
104th year, their unwavering commitment has served countless aspiring 
youth by preparing students for the world of work or continued 
education.
  Berean Institute is a nonprofit, state-aided and nonsectarian post-
secondary institution providing affordable, high-quality educational, 
vocational and technological training. It is ``a place to be somebody, 
where you learn to earn.''
  Founded in 1899 by Reverend Dr. Matthew Anderson and his wife Dr. 
Caroline Still Anderson, Berean continues to provide a solid foundation 
that assures its students the opportunity to choose a great career and 
acquire the marketable skills to meet and compete in the ever-changing 
demands to today's workforce.
  Mr. Speaker, the Berean Institute remains a beacon of hope to the 
lives of many brilliant, young minds whose opportunities may not have 
been paralleled to their potential. I hope that all of my distinguished 
colleagues will join me in recognizing their contributions to the 
citizens of Philadelphia, to Pennsylvania and to our great nation.
