Memorials, Personal Occasion - Dr. Hyran E. Barefoot, 98th birthday -

HJR 1041 is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Tennessee House of Representatives to honor Dr. Hyran E. Barefoot on his 98th birthday. It recognizes his decades of service as Union University's 14th president (1987-1996), his dedication to education, and his contributions to the university community, including the naming of campus buildings. The resolution has no legal effect - it is a symbolic gesture expressing legislative admiration, not a policy change. It was adopted unanimously (94-0) and is now being transmitted to the Senate.
