                         MIZZOU 175TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mrs. HARTZLER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize my alma mater, 
the University of Missouri, as it celebrates 175 years of providing 
quality education, cutting-edge research, and practical extension 
services to all Missourians.
  Mizzou was the first State university established west of the 
Mississippi and is a school rich with tradition. I am humbled to be a 
graduate of such a longstanding, esteemed institution.
  The University of Missouri was home to the first journalism school in 
the world and is still recognized as one of the best schools around the 
world for agriculture, business, and journalism, just to name a few.
  The core values of the University of Missouri--respect, 
responsibility, discovery, and excellence--leave a mark on every 
individual influenced by this institution and have helped shape me as 
an American citizen and lawmaker.
  Throughout my career in education and public service, I have striven 
to uphold the values of the university and sleep well knowing that all 
alumni, present and future, will do the same.
  I am so proud to be a Tiger, and I wish a very happy birthday to 
Mizzou. Go Tigers!
