H.R. No. 1601

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
join Texans across the state in celebrating March 30, 2015, as
Baylor Day at the Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Baylor University was established February 1, 1845,
by an act of the Congress of the Republic of Texas; it is the oldest
continually operating university in the state; and
WHEREAS, This private Christian university and nationally
ranked research institution provides a vibrant campus community to
more than 15,000 students; it offers 141 undergraduate degrees, 75
graduate degrees, 37 doctoral degrees, and a juris doctor in
addition to a wide array of preprofessional tracks and specialized
academic opportunities; and
WHEREAS, Baylor University is also home to a variety of
exceptional athletic programs; its football team recently won the
school's first outright conference championship since 1980, and the
women's basketball team continued its dominance with its fourth
consecutive sweep of regular-season and conference tournament
titles; and
WHEREAS, The university produced the top graduate success
rate score in the Big 12 Conference in the 2013-2014 academic year;
a school-record 213 Baylor University student-athletes were
selected to Academic All-Big 12 teams, and a school-record 678
students were named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll; and
WHEREAS, The school's interdisciplinary research and a
faculty committed to teaching and scholarship have served to create
an institution with an international reputation for educational
excellence; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Baylor University on its commitment to
educating men and women for worldwide leadership and service and
extend to its students, faculty, and staff best wishes for a
memorable Baylor Day at the Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the university as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
