Honoring Hampden-Sydney College on the 250th anniversary of its founding.

250th anniversary of Hampden-Sydney College: This resolution would celebrate the college's 250th anniversary on November 10, 2025 and honor its place as one of the Nation’s oldest higher‑education institutions and the oldest privately chartered college in the southern United States. It would note the school's founding on the eve of the American Revolution, its mission to “form good men and good citizens,” its role in spawning institutions like Union Theological Seminary and the Medical College of Virginia, and its longstanding focus on liberal arts, rhetoric, civil discourse, and alumni leadership across law, medicine, government, the military, and the arts, while recognizing the college's aim to thrive for another 250 years.
