Pachaiyappa's College, Chennai is the offspring of a superlative act of private philanthropy of its progenitor, Pachaiyappa's Mudaliar who had made himself a master financier and merchant prince when he was just 22 years old. Around this age many of us are in the threshold of our collegiate educational career. I strongly feel that the young graduates of this celebrated College must be inspired and motivated by the preciousness and large-heartedness of the benevolent founder. This College had its genesis in the famous will of Pachaiyappa Mudaliar. Pachaiyappa was born posthumously in 1754 of poor parents. He grew up in poverty and rose by his own force of character to be the most opulent man of his time but who finally bequeathed all his wealth for the service of god humanity. The College has produced eminent ledders in all spheres of national life. It is a Titanic leader in the educational institutions in the country.
