Cite as: William Pepper papers, Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, University of Pennsylvania - Page 3 - William Pepper papers Biographical/Historical note William Pepper was born in Philadelphia on August 21, 1843, the second son of William and Sarah Platt Pepper. William Pepper attended the University of Pennsylvania where he earned his bachelor degree in 1862 and graduated Valedictorian of his class. Following in the footsteps of his father and older brother George, he attended medical school and received his medical degree in 1864 from the Medical School at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Pepper began his medical career as a visiting physician at the Philadelphia Dispensary in 1864. The following year he was appointed resident physician at the Pennsylvania Hospital. He became affiliated with a variety of hospitals in the Philadelphia region through out his career. He was appointed a lecturer at the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1868, where he taught Morbid Anatomy until 1870. He was transferred to the Department of Clinical Medicine and lectured on that subject until 1874 when he was elected to a full professorship. It was also during this period that Dr. Pepper was instrumental in establishing the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). In 1881, Dr. Pepper was unanimously elected the eleventh Provost for the University of Pennsylvania. A post he held for thirteen years until his retirement in 1894. During his tenure, a few of his accomplishments included expanding the required medical course from three years to four; establishing the Wharton School of Business and the Graduate School of Arts and Science; increasing the size of the faculty and student body; and laying the groundwork for the Graduate Department for Women. He also contributed personally to the University by donating funds for the William Pepper Laboratory for Clinical Medicine, the Pepper Professorship of Hygiene Fund, and the William Pepper Medical Library Fund. In addition to his work at the University of Pennsylvania and his private medical practice, Dr. Pepper was active in several cultural, philanthropic and educational institutions in Philadelphia. He was the Medical Director of the Centennial Exposition of 1876, served on the Board of Trustees of the Philadelphia Museums, and was instrumental in founding the Free Library of Philadelphia. Nationally, he pushed for a National University and was a charter member of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome. William Pepper belonged to the American Philosophical Society, the College of Physicians and numerous other organizations. He also found time to contribute to several medical journals, founded the Medical Times, edited the System of Medicind by American Authors, and co-authored Diseases of Children with Dr. John F. Meigs. William Pepper married Frances Sergeant Perry (great-great-granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin) on June 25, 1873. They had four children, William, born on May 14, 1874; Thomas Sergeant, born on April 14, 1876 and died from diptheria in 1882; Benjamin Franklin, born on January 21, 1879; and Oliver Hazard Perry, born on April 28, 1884. William Pepper died July 25, 1898 from angina pectoris, the same disease that claimed his father's life 34 years earlier. - Page 4 - William Pepper papers Scope and Contents note This collection consists of 9 volumes of correspondence which documents Pepper's role in expanding the University of Pennsylvania in the 19th century, his contributions to the medical profession and his activism in Philadelphia.

    Figure 4.1. Ralph Sandiford, A Brief Examination of the Practice of the Times, by the Foregoing and the Present Dispensation . ([Philadelphia]: Printed [by Benjamin Franklin and Hugh Meredith] for the author, 1729). !e Library Company of Philadelphia. “!e Good Education of Youth”: Worlds of Learning in the Age of Franklin !e antislavery activism that finally brought about abolition had its origins in the 1688 petition of four German Quakers and Mennonites of Germantown, just north of Philadelphia, the first antislavery petition in the New World. From that time until abolition became a reality, Quakers were in the forefront of the movement, although paradoxically Quakers were also among the largest slave owners until the 1770s, when the sect officially took a stand and threatened to disown Quakers who continued to hold slaves. Benjamin Franklin himself lived out the ambivalence felt by many as the eighteenth century advanced. Franklin printed antislavery tracts by the outspoken Quakers Ralph Sandiford and Benjamin Lay, although he did so without affixing his name to the pamphlets (see Figure 4.1).4 Franklin owned slaves from as early as 1735 until 1781, and he never deliberately freed any of them. And his wealth, derived principally from the profits of his printing business, owed much to the numerous advertisements for slave sales and runaways that he published and to the actual sales that he facilitated. However, by the end of his life Franklin had taken a very public stand against slavery. As president of the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, and the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage (usually known as the Pennsylvania Abolition Society), Franklin is credited with writing the 1789 petition to Congress urging the abolition of slavery.

  • Deeply Religious Believer in “The Active God of the Israelites, the Prophets, and the Apostles.” His Laborious Fashioning Of
    2007 BOOK REVIEWS 213 deeply religious believer in “the active God of the Israelites, the prophets, and the apostles.” His laborious fashioning of an ideology and network for virtue had no conflict at all with contemporary religious structures, and “Franklin’s life was a monument to virtue tempered by pragmatism and ambition tempered by pru- dence.” Those who are looking to see Franklin’s career as a “call to serve God and humanity’” may enjoy this denouement. Others will see it unworthy of Franklin’s winning skepticism, self-mockery, and sense of irony. Temple University DAVID WALDSTREICHER Dr. Franklin’s Medicine. By STANLEY FINGER. (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006. xiii, 379 pp. Illustrations, notes, index. $39.95.) Kudos to Stanley Finger and to the University of Pennsylvania Press—they have produced an attractive, readable, and well-researched account of Benjamin Franklin and medicine. The text is comprehensive, the endnotes are clear, the index is usable, and the illustrations are generous in number. Because Franklin is of tremendous interest to general readers, this volume would be a clever way to intro- duce eighteenth-century medicine to people who will follow the Franklin name into subjects they might not otherwise read about. For that reason, as well, the book would be a welcome addition to undergraduate courses on the history of medicine. The book surveys, in roughly chronological order, the major topics in medi- cine that interested Franklin. These included inoculation against smallpox, the value of hospitals, medical uses for electricity, lead poisoning, medical self-help guides, gout, medical quackery (featuring Mesmerism), bifocals, and the educa- tion of doctors.

  • Frank Furness's Library of the University of Pennsylvania and The
    "The Happy Employment of Means to Ends" Frank Furness'sLibrary of the University of Pennsylvania and the IndustrialCulture of Philadephia I N 1885 THE PROVOST of the University of Pennsylvania, William Pepper, M.D., called for the construction of a new library building to form the centerpiece of his academic program to incorporate research methods into instruction. Restored in 1991 by Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates and reopened as the university's Fine Arts Library, Frank Furness's building has been cleaned of a century of grime to reveal fiery red hues that highlight its exuberant shapes and forms. Designed with the in- put of the era's best-known library experts, it was initially hailed as the most successful college library of its day. However, its original style caused it to be almost immediately forgotten as a model for other libraries.' Frank Furness is now enjoying a surge of popularity, replacing Henry Hobson Richardson as the best-known American Victorian architect. But even to- day the cognoscenti have trouble understanding what Furness intended in his University of Pennsylvania Library. This article offers an explanation for Furness's masterpiece as a manifestation of the city's innovative indus- trial culture while also providing an important clue to Fumess's success in supposedly conservative Philadelphia. In the 1880s the role of the college library was changing. No longer just 'Much of the research for this paper was undertaken a decade ago as the basis for the restoration of Furness's library at the University of Pennsylvania. It owes much to the early interest in libraries of James F.
