'W mv ' y y? j . i rvi i -t The eccentricities and phllanthrophy of Stephen Girard, founder of Glrard College, were the subject of- interacting after-dinner speeches yesterday noon In the Grotto of the Hotel Multnomah, where the Pennsylvania Club gave a, luncheon In honor of the memory of their native state's noted benefactor. J. A. Curry, retiring president of the club, passed with leniency the reputed violent temper of Stephen Glrard, whims and foibles of his volatile na ture, and declared ' that a pronounced stream of tenderness permeated hfcs life, citing his endowment of Glrard College, which is said to be the most richly endowed of all educational in stitutions in America. The college has educated 900T) boys and is now attended by 700 young students. Glrard Strange Anomaly ' Mri Curry's grandfather ha been personally acquainted with Stephen Glrard. and his recollections were re lated by the grandson; how "the co lonial capitalist had taken the fortune of his orphan nieces and given them no accounting of it until they reached their majorities, when he had returned It, multiplied many times, observing that he had spared them the folly of ver-much pride. Fond of canary birds, and keeping hundreds of the tuneful twitterers; In ordinately proud of his skill as an un recognized physician, dosing his friends with nauseous draughts; wear ing one overcoat through 14 seasons of storm; directing a last will and testa ment that is admittedly both the strangest and strongest document of Its sort cold, warm, tempestuous, genial, shy and forceful such was the - strange - anomaly of Stephen Girard'a character. - As the principal speaker, X. W. Mor ton, dean Of the school of commerce, - University of Oregon, was Introduced . by Mr. Curry.- Dean Morton, as a grad uate of Girard College and as a speaker of unusual force and . clarity, com- manded the eager attention" of the diners from his first word. Yellow PeTr Patients Aided. Briefly, Dean Morton outlined the earlier life of Stephen Girard. his lonely boyhood in - Bordeaux, France, his coming to the Colonies, where he established himself in business. As proof of the. intense patriotism and courage of Stephen Glrard, the speaker called attention to the fact that he took the oath of allegiance to the new Nation while Philadelphia was beleagured by British troops. And when the yellow fever crept into the city 4 this man came forward ami . went out to the hospital to nurse the sick at a time when friend would tuot . greet friend on the street for fear of contagion. Within . 24 hours after Glrard took charge there was order out of chaos. Such was the work of Stephen Girard when the nightly cry I rang through Philadelphia's; streets: firing out your dead! The club also held Its annual elec tion of officers, the choice being made by acclamation on single nominations. C. B. Clark was elected as president to succeed J. A. Curry, while three were re-elected to office C. B. Haak, vice- president; L. It. Relet, secretary, and w. J. Patterson, treasurer. o r eg o n fo o d , Campaign s f OFFICIAL) v.
