0No Excellence Without Great Labor
Original School Motto, 1895

00Drexel University is an institution rich in heritage and
00philanthropy. Anthony J. Drexel, a nineteenth century
00financial industry leader, established this University so the
00working class could labor and achieve excellence. His legacy 00lives today through the history of this institution. Drexel
00allows students to live their labor through the renowned
00cooperative education program. Yet, the history and pride of 00this man's legacy has been lost. The Traditions Program will 00bring this legacy to life by educating our community about
00Drexel's rich history and re-establish former student led
00traditions.
