"John McDonogh, who became a recluse after being disappointed in love with New Orleans, left half his large fortune to the cause of education in New Orleans. 32 public schools have been built with the money he left. His monument in Lafayette Square was built with the dimes of grateful school children and every year in May it is buried in flowers by them."
