1 11 A Senate Concurrent Resolution urging that Iowa State
1 12 University of Science and Technology retain the
1 13 name of its College of Agriculture.
1 14 WHEREAS, In 1858, the Iowa General Assembly enacted
1 15 and Governor Lowe signed into law legislation
1 16 authorizing the creation of and the expenditure of
1 17 moneys for land and improvements for an agricultural
1 18 college; and
1 19 WHEREAS, during the university's history and
1 20 various reorganizations, including President
1 21 Beardshear's reorganization in 1896, the College of
1 22 Agriculture has developed a long-standing, well-earned
1 23 reputation for achieving scientific and technological
1 24 advances in agriculture; and
1 25 WHEREAS, the College of Agriculture is
1 26 fundamentally charged to support agriculture in this
1 27 state, including by preparing undergraduate and
1 28 graduate students; conducting basic and applied
1 29 research; and providing outreach services critical to
1 30 the success of farming; and
2 1 WHEREAS, Iowa State University of Science and
2 2 Technology is considering changing the renowned name
2 3 of this world-famous college which holds a cherished
2 4 place in the hearts of generations of farmers and this
2 5 state's agricultural community; and
2 6 WHEREAS, proposed replacement names, such as the
2 7 College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural
2 8 Resources, do not convey the essence of the college's
2 9 mission and appear embellished, difficult to remember,
2 10 and contrary to the direct approach traditionally
2 11 favored by farmers; NOW THEREFORE,
2 12 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, THE HOUSE OF
2 13 REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING, That Iowa State University
2 14 of Science and Technology is urged to retain the
2 15 world-renowned name of its College of Agriculture; and
2 16 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Secretary of the
2 17 Senate send copies of this Resolution to the State
2 18 Board of Regents, the President of Iowa State
2 19 University of Science and Technology, and the Dean of
2 20 the College of Agriculture.
