| 10 | 10 | | Brazos Valley, this part of east-central Texas was encompassed in |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | the land grant that Stephen F. Austin received in 1825; one of |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | Austin's nephews, William Joel Bryan, donated land for a town site |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | in 1859, and the new settlement was named in his honor; surrounded |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | by fertile farmlands and served by the railroad from the late 1860s |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | onward, Bryan became an important commercial center and was |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | formally incorporated in 1872; and |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | WHEREAS, Just south of Bryan, a defining event occurred in |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | 1876 when the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas opened |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | its doors to students for the first time; the community that grew up |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | adjacent to the new school took its name, College Station, from the |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | post office that was established there, along the railway, in 1887; |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | home to many faculty members, the town expanded northward through |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | the years, aided in part by an electric railway that linked it to |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | Bryan in the early 1900s, and the community incorporated in 1938; |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | growing in conjunction with the university, College Station saw a |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | sixfold increase in its population between 1960 and 2000; and |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | WHEREAS, Texas A&M is one of the largest public universities |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | in the United States and ranks among the nation's leaders in |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | academic research; students from around the globe pursue degrees in |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | diverse areas of study, and this international presence infuses |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | additional vibrancy into a school already rich in tradition and |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | spirit; former A&M students have achieved distinction in many |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | fields of endeavor, and five individuals affiliated with the |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | university have earned the Nobel Prize; the university also |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | benefits from the loyal backing of a legion of students, alumni, and |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | other supporters, who know Bryan-College Station affectionately as |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | Aggieland; and |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | WHEREAS, The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum on |
|---|
| 39 | 39 | | the university campus is the area's leading tourist attraction and |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | | has received more than 700,000 visitors since it opened in 1997; as |
|---|
| 41 | 41 | | the repository of artifacts, documents, film, photographs, music, |
|---|
| 42 | 42 | | and more, the library and museum document the career and |
|---|
| 43 | 43 | | accomplishments of the nation's 41st president while promoting |
|---|
| 44 | 44 | | civic literacy and fostering volunteerism and an interest in public |
|---|
| 45 | 45 | | service; a number of other outstanding museums and galleries are |
|---|
| 46 | 46 | | located in Bryan-College Station as well, making the area a |
|---|
| 47 | 47 | | thriving center for cultural activities; and |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | WHEREAS, Excellent business opportunities are also found in |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | the two cities, encouraged by the notable efforts of the |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce; for the last 17 years, |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | | the chamber has benefited from the outstanding leadership of |
|---|
| 52 | 52 | | President and CEO Royce Hickman, who is a graduate of A&M, past |
|---|
| 53 | 53 | | president of the school's former students association, and member |
|---|
| 54 | 54 | | of the George Bush School of Government and Public Services |
|---|
| 55 | 55 | | Development Council, the Texas A&M Career Center Advisory Council, |
|---|
| 56 | 56 | | and the Bush School Public Service Organization Advisory Board; and |
|---|
| 57 | 57 | | WHEREAS, Together, Bryan and College Station afford the |
|---|
| 58 | 58 | | amenities of a dynamic metropolitan area while also providing the |
|---|
| 59 | 59 | | charm and warmth that are typical of small towns, and this |
|---|
| 60 | 60 | | combination helps make these adjoining communities a unique, |
|---|
| 61 | 61 | | prosperous, and enjoyable part of the Lone Star State; now, |
|---|
| 62 | 62 | | therefore, be it |
|---|
| 63 | 63 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|---|
| 64 | 64 | | Legislature hereby recognize February 4, 2015, as Bryan-College |
|---|
| 65 | 65 | | Station Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members of the |
|---|
| 66 | 66 | | visiting delegation sincere best wishes for a rewarding visit to |
|---|
| 67 | 67 | | Austin. |
