Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sixth Annual Report of the Board of Directors of the Girard College for Orphans: For the Year 1853
During the past year the indentures of five orphans have been cancelled at the request of their respective mothers or next friends; and within the same period twenty-three boys have been dismissed from the Institution.
Since the date of the last Annual Report, ninety orphans, who were previously examined and recommended by the Committee of Admission, have been admitted as pupils of the College, making the whole number now receiving the benefits of the Institution, and registered on its Catalogue, three hundred and four.
All the orphans thus admitted were born in the City of Phila delphia.
