                        EMPORIA STATE UNIVERSITY

  (Mr. HUELSKAMP asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUELSKAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 150th 
anniversary of the founding of Emporia State University in Emporia, 
Kansas.
  Founded on this very day in 1863, with a mission of providing 
outstanding educators for the State of Kansas, Emporia State is much 
recognized to this day for its outstanding teachers college. One-third 
of the degrees earned each year at Emporia State are graduate degrees--
the highest rate of any university in Kansas.
  Today, I join more than 5,900 current students and 75,000 alumni in 
congratulating Emporia State University on their first 150 years, and I 
wish them the very best in the next 150 years.
