Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to help recognize the Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs Academy and the alumnae of the Academy. Central Ohio takes pride in its history and appreciates the tremendous contribution to our community and nation by the Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs Academy through the education and development of our young people. Over a hundred and seventy years have passed since you began the effort to educate Ohio's youth, regardless of creed. Your success in providing an outstanding academic foundation is personified in your illustrious alumna, Anne O'Hare McCormick. Her contributions to journalism testify to the quality scholarship demanded by the Dominican Sisters. May this bicentennial plaque honoring the Academy's faculty and alumnae, living and deceased, and their outstanding fellow alumna Ms. McCormick stand as a reminder to all those who see it that our nation has always cherished the pursuit of educational excellence. Congratulations on the installation of the historical marker. ____________________
