WE SALUTE OUR FOUNDER... STEPHEN GIRARD Stephen Girard was an admirable man of great wisdom. As a banker, merchant, and mariner, he amassed a fortune that exceeded that of any other man of his time. He was a firm believer in the sanctity of labor; I believe that his whole life was reflection of his ideals. Today, we sons of Girard, are enjoying the benefits of his achievements. In spirit, Mr. Girard is still among us; it is given to few men to have an influence on the lives of boys beyond their own lifetimes. Stephen Girard is one of the few. We express to our founder and foster-father a great gratitude which mere words cannot fully express. Whatever achievements we may attain in life will serve as thanks for the education that Mr. Girard made possible. The school that he founded certainly has provided us with the tools with which we must shape our lives. We hope that we can become the men that you had hoped your school would produce. As we leave this school, Girard’s living legacy, we are determined to so live our lives that our future deeds will reflect favorably on our alma mater. Girard College has left a mark on us that will never be erased. We will always cherish this school in our hearts. To Mr. Girard, our greatest thanks and deepest appreciation. Sincerely, THE CLASS OF 1980
