Excerpt from Memorial Address: Delivered at Lafayette College, Founder's Day, October Twenty-Third, 1892 The first step in the founding of Lafayette College was taken on the evening of December 27, 1824, when a small company of earnest and patriotic men met in the little hotel which then stood upon the northeast corner of the public square in Easton. They were men of promptitude in action and at once fixed upon a plan, and gave to the college of their expectation that name which, now borne by the college of our affection, seems so fitting and so full of the inspiration of unselfish devotion. A charter was speedily secured and the Hon. James Madison Porter, LL. D., became the president of the first Board of Trustees. But, though there was a purpose and a plan, for a long time the hand was lacking which should realize them. At last the trustees found the man they sought, and in the providence of God the Rev. George Junkin, D. D., laid the foundations of this institution. On the 9th day of May, 1832, the college began its work on the south bank of the Lehigh River. A more suitable site was shortly afterwards secured on the present campus, and in June, 1833, the ground was broken for the first permanent building. Years of struggle followed the inauguration of the first founder's work. Years of hope and discouragement, years of self-sacrifice and hard earned successes. At last in the dark days of the rebellion the college seemed on the point of failure. Then it was that the trustees calling to their aid the Rev. Wm. C. Cattell, found in him the second founder of the college. By God's grace he brought success out of discouragement, revived the hopes, and re-established the confidence of the community.
