Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a proud Bobcat to recognize Montana State University, which is celebrating its 125th anniversary tomorrow on Founders' Day. Montana State University, a land-grant university in my hometown of Bozeman, was formed in 1893. Originally, the agricultural college of the State of Montana, the school started with eight students in a small classroom in a local high school. The college quickly grew to include many other degree paths, including engineering and nursing; two programs for which the school is particularly known. Today, Montana State University serves over 16,000 students each year. This year's spring enrollment set a new record for the tenth year in a row. Montana State University is a cornerstone of the Bozeman community, and we are fortunate to have such an institution in our State. The fact is that the success of my business, as well as that of many others, would not have been possible without Montana State University. Go, Cats, go. ____________________
