       WHEREAS,  This is, indeed, a significant anniversary, and congratulations are in order as this vibrant and venerable institution marks a very special milestone. Started in 1964 by the late Dr. Leon Twarog, The Ohio State University Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures has taught courses on all of the cultures of Eastern Europe, including offering a foreign study program in the former USSR, and it has become one of the leading departments of its kind in the nation with one of the largest enrollments of students majoring in Russian; and

To their credit, the department's expert faculty members and conscientious, dedicated administrators have always insisted upon exacting academic standards, and they merit praise for preparing people of all ages for fulfilling occupations and rewarding positions in our complex society. It has steadily grown in stature as an exciting hub of intellectual discovery and an indispensable scholastic center for the exchange of ideas and information; and

       WHEREAS,  The Ohio State University Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures can be depended upon to produce a sizable number of qualified leaders who are ready to assume key roles in their fields, and it inspires confidence that it will tenaciously maintain its long tradition of academic excellence. During this landmark year, the administration, faculty, staff, students, and alumni can take pride in their contributions to the department's distinguished heritage. Clearly, this fine educational institution will thrive and flourish for many years to come; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, applaud The Ohio State University Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures on fifty years of outstanding education and extend best wishes for the future; and be it further
