Lutnick lost his mother to cancer in high school and lost his father one week into his freshman year at Haverford College - the result of a tragic medical mistake.
That's when he got the phone call from Robert B. Stevens, then president of Haverford: "Howard, your four years here are free."
Now, the 53 year-old chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald has become the school's largest donor with the recent announcement of a $25 million donation.
To Lutnick, his motivation was simple: Love.
"Haverford was there for me," he said, "and taught me what it meant to be a human being."
In total, Lutnick has given $65 million to the school over the last 25 years.
