I rise today to invite my colleague to join me in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of San Francisco State University. The university was established on March 22. 1899. For three decades I had the privilege of serving as a professor of economics at this august educational institution. possibly the most ethnically diverse university in America. Then. as now. it had a commitment to provide a firstrate education to those who could not easily achieve one elsewherefirst and second generation immigrants and the working class. My colleagues on the faculty of San Francisco State University are outstanding. They have received innumerable honors and awards over the years. including the Pulitzer Prize and the prestigious MacArthur "genius" grant.
