The Philanthropist's Tomb
John Howard (1726-1790) was a British philanthropist and reformer who, based on his Christian convictions, dedicated his life to the improvement of hospital conditions and prison reform.
On his tomb it says this:
‘He who lives for others treads an open but unfrequented path to immortality.’
In his case this became true, as the Alabama Baptists named their new college after him in 1841. The school was later re-named Samford, but the school, and others, continue to honor his legacy to this day.
