    To express the sense of the Senate commending the University of 
                        Tennessee Bicentennial.

Whereas, under a succession of able leaders including its current president, Dr. 
        Joseph E. Johnson, the University of Tennessee has become one of the 
        Nation's major institutions of higher education in endowments, research 
        funding, and library holdings;
Whereas the university has produced distinguished alumni who have achieved 
        national fame in the arts, sciences, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, 
        education, engineering, business, communications, social work, 
        librarianship, law, the military, and sports;
Whereas those alumni include in their numbers one Nobel Laureate, six Rhodes 
        Scholars, four Pulitzer Prize winners, two National Book Award winners, 
        one Justice of the United States Supreme Court, nine United States 
        Senators, and one Chief of Staff to the President of the United States;
Whereas, in the field of athletic competition, the Lady Vols basketball team has 
        won three national championships, the Vol track program three national 
        championships, and the Vol football and swimming teams one national 
        championship each; and
Whereas 1994 marks the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of Tennessee's 
        flagship State university: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that this 
distinguished body, recognizing the rich history and tremendous 
achievements of the University of Tennessee over the past two hundred 
years, extends heartiest congratulations to the students, alumni, 
faculty, staff, and administrators of this great institution on the 
occasion of its bicentennial, and offers best wishes for continued 
success in its third century.
