The rrovinlonn AOVrlllllr llic College for Orpluum, To-day being tlic anniversary of the birth of Ptcjihon (Jlrard, wc present tho following cx tructa from his will, affecting the' (iirard College for Orphans: "I Rive, devise, nnd bcfiiicatli to the Mayor, aldermen, and citizens of Philadelphia, their miccesoors and assign, two undivided third parts of all the rent and residue of my said real estate, belli"; the lands unimproved near Va ahita, In the said tftato of Louisiana, in trust, that, In common with the corporation of thu city of New Orleans, they shall pay the taxes on the paid lands, and preserve them from wiiste or intrusion, for thu term of ten years from and after my decease, and, at the end of said term, when they shall deem it advisable to do so, shall pell and dispose of their Interest in said lands gradually from time to time, and apply the pro ceeds of sueh sales to the same uses and pur poses hereinafter declared and directed, of and concerning the residue of my personal estate. "And I give, devise, and bequeath to thu cor poration of the city of New Orleans, their suc cessors and assigns the remaining one undivided third part of the said lands, in trust, in common with the Mayor, aldermen, and citizens of Phila delphia, to'pav the taxes on said lands, and preserve them from waste and intrusion, for the term of ten years from and alter my decease, and, at the end of said term, when they shall deem it advisable to do so, to sell and dispose of their interest In said lands gradually from time to time, and to apply the proceeds of such sale to such uses and purposes as the said corporation may consider most likely to promote the health and general prosperity of the inhabitants of the city of New Orleans. ''And, whereas, I have been for a long time impressed with the importance of educating the poor, and of placing them, by the early cultiva tion of their minds and the development of their moral principles, above the many temptations to which, through poverty and ignorance, they are exposed; and I am particularly desirous to" pro vide for such a number of poor male white orphan children, as can be trained in one institution, n better education, as well as a more comfortable maintenance, than they usually receive from the appli cation of the public funds: and whereas, to gether with the object just adverted to, I have sincerely at heart the welfare of the city of Philadelphia, and, as a part of it, am desirous to improve the neighborhood of the river Dela ware, so that the health of the citi.ens maybe promoted and preserved, and that the eastern part of the city may be made to correspond better with the interior. Now, 1 do give, devise, and bequeath all the residue and remainder of my real and personal estate of every sort and kind wheresoever situate (the real estate In Penn sylvania charged us aforesaid) unto the Mayor, aldermen, and citi.ens of Philadelphia, their successors and assigns, in trust, to and for the several uses, intents mid purposes hereinafter mentioned and declared of and concerning the same, that is to say, so far as regards my real estate in Pennsylvania, in trust, that no part thereof shall be ever sold or alienated by the said mayor, aldermen, and eill.ens of Philadel phia, or their successors, but the same shall for ever thereafter be let from time to time, to good tenants, at yearly or other rents, and upon leases in possession not exceeding live years from the commencement thereof, and that the rents, Issues, and profits arising therefrom shall be ap plied towards keeping that part of the said real estate situate in the City and Liberties of Phila delphia constantly in good repair, (parts, else where situate to be kept ill repair by the tenants thereof respectively ), and tow ards improving the same, whenever "necessary, by erecting new buildings; and that the net "residue (alter paying the several annuities herein before provided for) be applied to the same uses and purposes as are herein declared of and concerning the residue of my personal estate; and so far as regards my real estate in Kentucky, now under the care of Messrs. Triplett iV; Hrumley, in trust, to sell and dispose of the same, whenever it may be expe dient to do so, and to apply the proceeds of such sale to the same uses and purposes as are herein declared of and concerning the residue of my personal estate. "And so far as regards the residue of my per sonal estate, in trust, as to two millions of dol lars, part thereof, to. apply and expend so much of that sum as mav be neeessarv, m erecting, as soon as practicably may be, in the centre of my square of ground between High and Chesmit streets, and Eleventh and Twelfth streets, in the city ol Philadelphia (which square of ground I hereby devote to the purposes herein after stated, and for no other, for ever), a permanent college, with suitable outbuildings sulliciently spacious for the residence and accommodation of at least thrco hundred scholars, and the requisite teachers and other persons necessary in such an institution as I direct to lie established, and in supplying the said college and outbuildings with decent and suitable furniture, as well as books and all things needful to carry into elleet my general design. "The said college shall be constructed with the most durable materials, and in the most per manent manner, avoiding needless ornament, and attending chiefly to the strength, conve nience, f1"1'1 iatness. oi ctlo whole." "llcre are liiSevlcil detailed directions as to the construction ot the college buildings, after which the testator proceeds as follows: "When the college and appurtenances shall have been constructed, and supplied with plain and suitable furniture and books, philosophical and experimental instruments and apparatus, and all other matters needful to carry my gene ral design into execution, the income, issues, and profits of so much of the said sum of two mil lions of dollars as shall remain unexpended shall be upplied to maintain the said college ac cording to my directions. "The institution shall be organized as soon as practicable, and to accomplish the purpose more effectually, due public notice of the in tended opening of the college shall be given so that there may be an opportunity to make selections of "competent instructors, and tither agents, and those who may have the charge of orphans may be aware of the provisions in tended for them. "A competent number of instructors, teachers, assistants, and other necessary agents shall be selected, and, when needful, their places from time to time supplied; they shall receive ade quate compensation lor their services, but no person shall be employed who shall not be of tried skill in his or her proper department, of established moral character, and in all eases persons shall bo chosen on account of their merit, and not through favor or intrigue. "As many poor male white orphans, between the age of nix and ten years, as the said income shall be adequate to maintain, shall be intro duced into the college as soon as possible; aud from time to time, as there may be vacancies, or as increased ability from income may warrant, others shall be introduced. "On the application for admission, an accu rate statement should be taken, in a book pre- nared for the purpose, ot the name, birthplace, age, health, condition as to relatives, and other particulars useful to bo known of each orphan. "No orphan should be admitted until the guardians or directors of the poor, or a proper iriiurdiun or other competent authority, shall have given, by indenture, relinquishment, or otherwise, adequate power 10 uiu iiiuyur. amer men, and citizens of Philadelphia, or to directors or others by them appointed, to enforce in rela tion to each orphan every proper restraint, and rt r,rv.iit. relatives or others from interfering -. t" u f...... .. ... with or wiuiurawiug eutu uijuuiu num n.o in stitution. , "Those orphans for whose admission applica tion shall first be made shall be tirst Introduced, all other things concurring; aud uk all future times priority of application shall entitle the applicant to preference in admission, all other things concurring; but if there shall be at any time more applicants than vacancies, and the applying o"T'" thall have been born in different placee, a preference shall he given first, to or phans horn in the city of Philadelphia; secondly, to those born in any other part of Pennsylvania; thirdly, to those born in the city of New York CUuit Iviug Uietat pwt vu Ui cwiuacnt of. North America nt which I arrived); and lastly, to thoFC born In tho city of New Orleans, being tho first port on the said continent at which I first traded, in the first Instance as first ollleer, and subsequently as master and part owner of a vessel and cargo. "The orphans admitted Into the collcgo shall be there led with plain but wholesome food, clothed with plain but decent apparel (no dis tinctive dress ever to be worn), and lodged In a plain but safe manner; due regard shall be paid to their health, and to this end their persons ami clothes shall be kept clean, and they sluijl have suitable and rational exercise and recreation. They shall be Instructed In the various branches of a sound education, comprehending reading, writing, grannncr, arithmetic, geography, navi gation, surveying, practical mathematics, astro nomy, natural, chemical, and experimental philosophy, the French and Spanish languages (I do not lorbid, but I do not recom mend the ('reek and Latin languages), and such other learning and science as the capacities of the several scholars may merit or wnrrant. I would have them taught facts and things, rather than words or signs; and especially, I desire that by every proper means a pure attachment to our republican institutions, and to the sacred lights of conscience, as guaranteed by our happy constitutions, shall be loi nied and fostered In the minds of the scholars. 'Should it unfortunately happen that any of the orphans admitted into the college shall, from maleondiiet, have become unfit companions for the rest, and mild means of reformation prove abortive, they should no longer remain therein. Those scholars who shall merit it shall remain In the college until they shall respec tively arrive at between fourteen and eighteen years of age: they shall then be bound out by the mayor, aldermen, and citizens of Philadel phia, or under their direction, to suitable occu pations, as those of agriculture, navigation, arts, mechanical trades, and manufactures, according to the capacities and acquirements of the scholars respectively, consulting, as far as pru dence shall justify 'it. the Inclinations of the several scholars as to the occupation, art, or trade to be learned. "In relation to the organization of the college and its appendages, I leave, necessarily, many details to the mayor, aldermen, and citizens of Philadelphia, and their successors; and I do so with the more contideuce, as, from the nature of my bequests, and the benelit to result from them, 1 trust that my fellow -citizens of Philadelphia will observe and evince especial care and anxiety in selecting members for their City Councils, and other agents. "There are, however, some restrictions which I consider it my duty to prescribe, and to be, amongst others, conditions on which my bequest for said college is made, and to be enjoyed, namely First, I enjoin and require that if, at the close of any year, the income of the fund devoted to the "purposes of the said college thall be more than sutlicient for tho maintenance of the institution during that year, then the balance of the said income, after de fraying such maintenance, shall be forthwith in vested in good securities, thereafter to be and remain a part of the capital; but, in no event, shall any part of the said capital be sold, dis posed ol, or pledged to meet the current ex penses of the said institution, to which I devote the interest, income, and dividends thereof, ex clusively: Secondly, I enjoin and require that no ecclesiastic, missionary, or minister of any sect whatsoever shall ever hold or exercise, any station or duty whatever in the said College: nor shall any such person ever be ad mitted for any purpose, or as a visitor, within the premises appropriated to the pur poses of the . said college. In making this restriction, I do not mean to cast any reflection upon any sect or person whatso ever; but, as there is such a multitude of sects, and such a diversity of opinion amongst them, 1 desire to keep the teuder minus of the orphans who are to derive advantage from this bequest free from the excitement which clashing doc trines and sectarian controversy aro so apt to produce; my desire is that all the'iustruetors and teachers in "the college shall take pains to instil into the minds of the scholars the purest princi ples of morality, so that, on their entrance into active life, they may, from inclination and habit, evince benevolence towards their fellow crea tures, and a love of truth, sobriety, and industry, adopting at the same time such religious tenets as their matured reason may enable them to pre fer. If the income arising from that part of the said sum of two millions of dollars, remain ing alter the construction and furnishing of the college and outbuildings, shall, owing to the increase of the number of orphans apply ing lor admission, or other cause, he inadequate to the construction of new buildings, or the maintenance and education of as many orphans as may apply for admission, then such further sum as may 'be necessary for the construction of new buildings and the'maintenance and educa tion of such further number of orphans as can be maintained and instructed within such build ings as the said square of ground shall be ade quate to, shall be taken from the final residuary fund hereinafter expressly referred to for the purpose, comprehending the Income of mv real estate in the city and county of Philadelphia, and the dividends of my stock in the Schuylkill Navigation Company mv design ami desire being that the bcuclit-s of said institution shall he est ended" to ns great a niipV,tr of orphans as the limits of the said Square and buildings therein can accommodate." Hv a codicil to the original, reading as follows, the site for the college buildings was changed to their present location: Whereas, 1, Stephen (iirard. the testator named in the foregoing will and testament, dated February Iti, 110, have, since the execu tion thereof, purchased several parcels and pieces of land and real estate, and have built sundry messuages, all which, as wen as any real estate that I may hereafterpurchase, it is my in tention to pass by said will: and whereas, in particular, 1 have recently purchased from Mr. William Parker, the Mansion House, outbuild ings, and forty-live acres and some perches of land, called Peel Hall, on the l'.idge road, in l'ci in township: now I declare it to be my in tention, and 1 direct, that the orphan establish ment provided for in my said will, instead of being built, as therein directed, upon my square of ground between High anil Chesnut and Eleventh and Twelfth streets, in the city of Philadelphia, shall be built upon the estate; so purchased from Mr. W. Parker: and 1 hereby devote the said estate to that purpose, exclusively, in the same, manner us 1 had devoted the said square, hereby directing that all the improve ments and arrangements for the said orphan establishment, prescribed by my said will, as to said square, shall be made and executed upon the said estate, just as il l had in my will de voted the said estate to said purpose conse quently, the said square of ground is to consti tute, and I declare it to be a part of the residue and remainder of my real and personal estate, and given and devised for the same uses and purposes as are declared in section twenty of my will; It being my intention that the said square of ground shall be built upon and im proved in such a manner as to secure a safe and permanent income for the purposes stated in said twentieth section. In witness whereof, I, the said Stephen (iirard, set my hand and seal hereunto, the twentieth dav of June, eighteen hundred and thirtY-one. Stephen Oikakd. DRUQS, PAINTS, ETO.
