Lafayette — Lehigh tomorrow lads.

Which is best?

Lafayette was founded in the name of arguably the most important figure in the establishment of American independence:

“Lafayette established for himself a more stately column than that at Vendôme, and a better statue than that of marble or metal. Where is the marble as pure as his heart, and where is the metal as firm as the devotion of old Lafayette? Of course he was always partisan, but partisan like the needle of a compass, which always points to the North, and not once deviates to the South or to the East. And so Lafayette has daily said the same thing for forty years, and always points toward North America. For that is where the Revolution began with its universal declaration of human rights. Still in this hour he persists in this declaration, without which there can be no healing—that partisan man with his partisan heavenly Realm of Freedom!”

Lehigh was named for a river and founded by the same guy Packer Avenue in South Philly is named after.

Aller Marron!
