Dear Mr. Girard: It was Mr. Thomas B. Reed who, at the fiftieth anniversary of Girard College, made the following statement about our founder, Stephen Girard. Surely, if the immortal dead, serene with the wisdom of eternity, are not above all joy and pride, he must feel a thrill to know that no mariner or merchant ever sent forth a venture upon unknown seas which came hack with richer cargoes or in statelier ships.!’ Mr. Girard, our hopes and ambitions are the extension of this thought. It is because of your school that we now have what we need to make our venture into life. We are confident that we, like thousands of Girardians before us, shall obtain rich cargoes because of this school which your paternal gener¬ osity created. Your instruction, love, and care, sir, have enabled us to obtain a superior education. As our foster father, you have given our lives purpose and meaning. You stretched out your hands in kindness and have given us your loving protection. You have been known as a merchant, mariner, and humanitarian to many people for scores of years, but we, your foster sons, are proud members of your great family. Girard College is much more than a tangible structure. Your life and deeds aroused in it a spirit which will never die, a spirit which makes it an honor and a privilege to be a Girardian. The ending of this day will find us scattered in many directions, but nothing will dissolve the friend¬ ships and the love for this school which we have absorbed over a decade. Your name, Mr. Girard, we shall ever praise. We are your sons of Girard. Cfaii. of ig6i
