Girard's Will and Girard College Theology

In this insightful study, Richard Brodhead Westbrook explores the controversial legacy of Stephen Girard, founder of Girard College in Philadelphia. Focusing on Girard's will, which imposed a strict set of theological principles on the school he endowed, Westbrook traces the history of the school and the legal battles that surrounded it. With careful analysis and a deep knowledge of the subject, Girard's Will and Girard College Theology is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of education or the role of religion in public life.
