recognize Burlyce Logan on the occasion of her graduation from | ||
the University of North Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Burlyce Logan first enrolled in 1956 as one of the | ||
first African American students to attend the university after | ||

campus before dropping out of school to move to California, where | ||
she married and began her family; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through the years, Mrs. Logan remained determined | ||
to earn a college degree from the University of North Texas; she | ||
returned with her husband to Denton in 1996 and held a number of | ||
jobs, including work at the university, before reenrolling in | ||
classes in 2005; and | ||
WHEREAS, Upon her return as a student, Mrs. Logan | ||
distinguished herself in classes, earning the admiration of her | ||
of first serving as a pioneer in the university's integration and | ||
then excelling in school after a hiatus of nearly half a century | ||
are an inspiration to all those who know her; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Logan embodies the virtues of courage, | ||
strength, and resolve, and it is truly fitting that she be | ||
honored for this signal achievement; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Burlyce Logan on | ||
her many achievements and extend congratulations to her on the | ||
occasion of her graduation from the University of North Texas; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
