                    MANAGEMENT EDUCATION ANNIVERSARY

 Ms. WARREN. Mr. President, I want to recognize the 100th 
anniversary of management education at the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology.
  Management education began at MIT in 1914 with the introduction of 
Course XV, then known as ``Engineering Administration.'' Over the past 
century, MIT's business program has grown from a single course to a 
world-class school that provides our Nation's leaders and entrepreneurs 
with the skills and knowledge they need for success, while also 
producing cutting-edge research.
  Today, the MIT Sloan School of Management stands as one of the world 
leaders in management education. MIT Sloan has jump started the careers 
of some of our foremost innovators, thinkers and business leaders. From 
launching successful Massachusetts-based companies like Zipcar and 
HubSpot to making revolutionary intellectual contributions to the 
fields of organizational behavior and system dynamics, Sloan alumni 
have made a huge positive difference in the world. According to a Sloan 
study, in 2006, there were 25,800 active companies founded by MIT 
alumni, which combined to employ 3.3 million workers.
  MIT's motto is ``mens et manus,'' which translates to ``mind and 
hand,'' and its school seal displays two men--one with a book, and 
another with an anvil. This connection between thought and action, 
between intellectual pursuits and practical applications, has helped 
define MIT's mission and has made the school the unique institution 
that it is today. For 100 years, MIT's management education programs 
have perfectly embodied this spirit.
  I am proud to join with the MIT community in recognizing the enduring 
contributions that a century of management education programs at MIT 
have given us, and we all look forward to MIT Sloan's leadership in the 
next century of its work.
