                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 4, 2006

  Mr. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker,

  Whereas it is the sense of the House of Representatives to recognize 
and commend those American universities which have achieved world 
renown and brought pride and honor to our Nation through their 
traditions of academic excellence;
  Whereas attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, the House of Representatives is justly proud to 
honor the Fordham University School of Law upon the occasion of its 
100th Anniversary;
  Whereas on September 28, 1905, the Fordham University School of Law 
opened its door in the City of New York to 13 students; since that time 
it has evolved into one of the largest, most diverse and most respected 
law schools in the Nation, with nearly 1,600 students and over 200 
full-time and adjunct faculty;
  Whereas to commemorate this milestone in the life of the school and 
the educational history of the City and State of New York and the 
Nation, the Fordham University School of Law has designed a year-long 
celebration commencing on September 28, 2005;
  Whereas the Fordham University School of Law's Centennial Celebration 
will feature symposia, lectures, galas and, in keeping with its 
dedication to serving others, a commitment by its alumni, faculty, and 
students to contribute 100,000 hours of public pro bono work to help 
those that are less fortunate;
  Whereas for 100 years, the Fordham University School of Law has been 
defined by unparalleled standards of learning and has produced 
countless leaders throughout the world; and
  Whereas with great admiration, the House of Representatives is proud 
to pay tribute to this eminent university which stands at the threshold 
of the future with its legacy of outstanding achievements and its 
impressive body of distinguished alumni;
  Therefore, be it resolved that the House of Representatives honors 
the Fordham University School of Law upon the occasion of its 100th 
Anniversary, fully confident that in its future, it will enjoy the same 
success which has so characterized its past.
