WHEREAS, Distinguished members of the Baylor University |
|
|

|
|
celebrate the school's vital role in the Lone Star State; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas through |
|
|
the efforts of Baptist pioneers, Baylor University is the oldest |
|
|
continually operating university in the state; originally located |
|
|
in Independence, it was later moved to Waco, where the campus |
|
|
currently encompasses 735 acres; through the years, the school has |
|
|
adapted to meet the ever-changing needs of those it serves, while |
|
|
continuing to fulfill its original mission and honor its heritage |
|
|
as a Christian university; and |
|
|

|
|
offers 151 areas of study, pre-professional tracks, and specialized |
|
|
academic opportunities catering to a student body of more than |
|
|
14,000; through its faculty's commitment to teaching, scholarship, |
|
|
and interdisciplinary research, Baylor has earned an international |
|
|
reputation for educational excellence, and the school's |
|
|
outstanding alumni range from heads of Fortune 500 companies to |
|
|
religious leaders to governors of Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Baylor University has provided generations of |
|
|
students with an exceptional education and a strong, principled |
|
|
foundation, and in so doing, it is contributing immeasurably to the |
|
|
future of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 1, 2011, as Baylor Day at the |
|
|
State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to all those from the |
|
