Childs, Born 1829-Died 1894 We are come together this afternoon to express our appreciation of the one who next to Mr. Drexel himself was most intimately connected with the establishment of the Institute. The trustees have felt that, as the trusted friend and adviser of the founder and his next successor as President of the Board, they owed this much to the memory of Mr. Childs. We are here to give expression to our feelings as personal friends, to refresh our hearts by recalling his virtues, and to lay our simple wreath of laurel upon his grave.
