Mr. Speaker, I rise today also in strong support of House Resolution 1004, a resolution recognizing the 150th anniversary of the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I thank the gentleman from Illinois, Congressman Danny Davis, for introducing this resolution. I am an alumni of Northwestern University School of Law, and I am pleased to see that the School of Medicine is continuing the Northwestern tradition of excellence. As was mentioned, according to U.S. News & World Report, Feinberg is now ranked in the top 20 medical schools in the country. People now that would see the complex in Chicago, it is huge and continues to grow and to provide the excellence for education for so many students. A couple of other notable alumni that went to the school there are Charles Mayo, one of the founders of the Mayo Clinic, which is certainly well known--it's nice to have that distinguished type of graduate from the school--and John Cooper, the first president of the Association of American Medical Colleges.
