-E The son of a wealthy family, John Howard was revolted by the social conditions of his time. Nvith a pas- sionate zeal for reform, he devoted his entire life and fortune to the allevia- tion of human misery.

He never once posed for a painter or sculptor. The statues which stand to his memory in St. Paul's Cathedral and at Bedford were made from plastic casts after his death. For almost a century this institution has reverently borne the name of this great Christian leader. Our prayer is that in its greatness, Howard College will not forget the truly noble prin- ciples to which its founders dedicated it.
