                          HON. DANNY K. DAVIS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 12, 2010

  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, DePaul University is the 
largest Catholic university in the United States and the largest 
private non-profit university in the Midwest. It remains dedicated to 
serving and educating the economically disadvantaged, as it has done 
throughout its history. DePaul University provides high-quality 
education for students from the entire metropolitan area through its 
Chicago and suburban campuses.
  In 2010, DePaul University celebrates the work and accomplishments of 
its namesake, St. Vincent DePaul, and St. Louise de Marillac, founder 
of the Daughters of Charity, on the occasion of the 350th anniversary 
of their deaths. To honor the examples of St. Vincent and St. Louise 
through its mission of education and service, DePaul University is 
embarking on a capital campaign entitled, ``Many Dreams. One Mission.'' 
This capital campaign will help guarantee the accessibility and 
affordability of the University's 260 graduate and undergraduate 
programs. This campaign will raise funds to build campus facilities 
that will enhance the University's academically-rigorous and 
nationally-acclaimed programs of study.
  As a proud Chicagoan and former educator, I congratulate DePaul 
University for its many contributions to higher education and community 
service, and I join with DePaul University in celebrating St. Vincent 
DePaul and St. Louise DeMarillac on the occasion the 350th anniversary 
of their deaths.
