George Peabody, founder of the Peabody Institute, was born in 1795 when his namesake, George Washington, still held office as America's first President. As the first modern philanthropist on either side of the Atlantic, Peabody's methods of giving established a pattern that was to be followed by scores of famous men after him including the likes of Johns Hopkins, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Enoch Pratt and Henry Walters. In his determination to give others the educational opportunities he had so sorely missed himself, Peabody inspired a tradition of giving which continues to this day.
