| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join Texans across the state in celebrating February 1, 2011, as | ||
| Baylor University Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established February 1, 1845, by an act of the | ||
| Congress of the Republic of Texas, Baylor University is the | ||
| oldest continually operating university in the state; it traces | ||
| its roots to an 1841 meeting of the Union Baptist Association at | ||
| which the Reverend William Milton Tryon and State District Judge | ||
| R. E. B. Baylor offered a proposal to create a Baptist university | ||
| in Texas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Baylor University has grown to become a | ||
| nationally ranked liberal arts institution with more than 14,000 | ||
| students; it offers degrees in 151 areas of study, | ||
| preprofessional tracks, and specialized academic opportunities; | ||
| students are able to interact with full-time faculty from their | ||
| first days on campus; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to its rigorous curriculum, the | ||
| university offers a dynamic and invigorating campus life; from | ||
| concerts to Big 12 athletics to an active community of faith, | ||
| students have a wide array of options to complement their | ||
| academic careers; its students, faculty, and staff annually | ||
| provide more than 150,000 hours of local community service; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For more than 150 years, Baylor University has | ||
| played a vital role in providing Texans with a firm foundation | ||
| for future success; it is truly deserving of recognition for its | ||
| commitment to educational excellence; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the students, faculty, staff, and | ||
| alumni of Baylor University for their many contributions to the | ||
| progress of our state and extend to the university's delegation a | ||
| sincere welcome to the State Capitol for Baylor University Day; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as a | ||
| memento of this special occasion. | ||
