PRESS RELEASE the Historical Society of Pennsylvania 1300 Locust Street Philadelphia, PA 19107 (215) 732-6200 PRESS RELEASE The Historical Society of Pennsylvania 1300 Locust Street Philadelphia, PA 19107 (215) 732-6200 www.hsp.org For Immediate Release Media Contact: Mary Ann Coyle 215-732-6200, ext. 220 [email protected] The Historical Society of Pennsylvania presents Founder’s Award to Local Teacher and Three Nationally Recognized Educators Philadelphia-- The Historical Society of Pennsylvania will present its prestigious Founder’s Award at its annual Founder’s Awards dinner on Saturday, April 17, at the Society. This year’s awards honor four individuals for their Contributions to Historical Education: Donald G. Brownlow, Mary Maples Dunn, Sheldon Hackney, and Gary B. Nash. Donald G. Brownlow, of The Haverford School, was nominated for the Founder’s Award as a particularly distinguished and effective Philadelphia area teacher. He is renowned for his ability to stimulate students’ interest and enthusiasm in history, his creativity in addressing historical issues, and his legacy of nurturing student historians. Mary Maples Dunn, co-executive of the American Philosophical Society, has shaped history’s education and future as a professor at Bryn Mawr College, as President of Smith College, as director of Radcliffe College’s Schlesinger Library, and as Acting Dean of the Radcliffe Institute. She is known as a superbly engaging teacher with lasting influence on students. Sheldon Hackney has served as chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities under President Clinton, president of the University of Pennsylvania, provost of Princeton University, and president of Tulane University. Now teaching at the University of Pennsylvania, Professor Hackney is a distinguished historian of the American South, the Civil Rights Movement, and America of the 1960s. Gary B. Nash is director of the National Center for History in the Schools at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is also a distinguished social historian who has written on race, class, religion, and politics in early Philadelphia and on history’s role in the city. He helped develop Philadelphia’s "Lights of Liberty" sound and light tour, extending history education beyond the classroom. -more- News Release/The Historical Society of Pennsylvania/Add one… The Historical Society first presented its Founder’s Awards at its 175th Anniversary celebration in 2000. These awards honor individuals and organizations for their exemplary service to history. “For history to be meaningful, it must be engaging,” says David Moltke-Hansen, president of the Society. “We need to bring history into the Society’s library, but just as importantly into people’s homes, schools and lives. The Founder’s Award allows the Society to honor and support those people who, like Mr. Brownlow, Dr. Dunn, Prof. Hackney, and Prof. Nash, have made nationally significant contributions to history and to public understanding of its power and value.” Previous Founder’s Awards recipients include Librarian of Congress James Billington for the Study and Preservation of History, author Lorene Carey for Historical Art, Director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art Anne d’Harnoncourt for Cultural Leadership and journalist Jim Lehrer for Public History. This year’s Founder’s Award celebration begins with a symposium on historical education at the Society, 1300 Locust Street, from 10:00am to 4:45pm. Attendance at the symposium is free of charge. At 6:30pm, evening celebrations begin with cocktails followed by dinner at 7:30pm. Tickets for the dinner begin at $175 and may be obtained by calling the Society at the contact number given above. With nearly 600,000 printed items and over 19 million manuscripts and graphic items, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania has one of the largest, richest, and most significant collections of materials on American history. A true national treasure, the Society holds many of the core documents of the founding and early development of the United States. A few examples of the Society’s treasures are a hand-written copy of the national anthem, The Star-Bangled Banner, c. 1840; a printer’s proof of the Declaration of Independence, July 1776; an early draft of the Constitution of the United States, August 1787; and two copies of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward, 1863. -30- .

    THE SHAKERS A Rich Past Revisited EDITOR'S NOTE The Future of the Book t h e SHAKERS The usually staid Ralph Waldo Emerson had a mischievous moment A Rich Past Revisited when it came to books. "A man's library/' he said, "is a sort of harem." Well, without taking the analogy too far, the nature of the harem is changing. Some of the inhabitants are breaking away. In this issue of Humanities we look at the future of the book. Endow­ ment Chairman Sheldon Hackney talks with John Y.

  • Remarks of Sheldon Hackney Chairman, National Endowment For
    Remarks of Sheldon Hackney Chairman, National Endowment for the Humanities At the Annual Convention of the American Historical Association Chicago, Illinois January 7, 1995 I come to you today still somewhat dazed &y the events \ of November 8 and their aftermath, which are plkying themselves out in the hyperbaric chamber that is Washington. Many meanings, both emergent and contingent, are contained in the current political situation and the public mood it reflects, and my interpretation is no better than the next lay person's attempt to make sense of this history-in-the- making. One theme is clear, however, and it is pertinent to our current purpose. In the primary conversation of American history between liberty and equality, liberty now has the floor. I recall being intrigued by something that the poet, Donald Hall, said some time ago in his televised interview with Bill Moyers. He recited a little poem and then explained it, only to be told by Moyers that the poem had an entirely different meaning to him. Hall confessed I appreciatively that he had never thought of the poem in the way Moyers interpreted it, and then he said, "A poem ■ j \ frequently has at the same time the meaning the^poet intended and the opposite meaning as well." I was reminded immediately of Sigmund Freud's crack that neurotic symptoms are both punishment and reward, and I kept thinking about the implications of Hall's profound observation. It soon occurred to me that nature seems to be filled with examples of binary opposites that complete each other: Male-Female North and South poles of magnets, and of earth The genetic code arrayed along strands of the double 2 helix So it is with culture, especially American culture.

The Literal and Figurative Boundaries Between Penn Students and West Philadelphia Abstract In this paper, I discuss the literal and figurative boundaries that stand between Penn students and West Philadelphia. I begin by discussing the theory behind walls and boundaries, then applying this theory to the urban environment and then to town-gown relations, finally applying these theories to the case of Penn and West Philadelphia. In order to fully understand the walls that stand between campus and community, I look at the history of town-gown relations—both nationally and at Penn, dividing up the history into three phases: first, the nineteenth century, during which the “Ivory Tower” relationship of division first began; next, the post-World War II era, when race and class issues became relevant in campus-community relations, as relations became increasingly divided and turbulent; and finally, the post-cold war era that has lasted until the present day, during which the importance of knocking down barriers between institutions and communities has been emphasized.

  • From the Trustees
    FROM THE TRUSTEES Below, the Chairman of the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania shares with the campus his message to the Trustees upon the resignation of President Sheldon Hackney. A Message to the University Community April 16, 1993 We were delighted to learn earlier this week of President Clinton’s intention to nominate Sheldon Hackney as the next Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. While it is difficult indeed to imagine Penn without Sheldon, this is a magnificent opportunity for him and one that reflects well not only on him but also on Penn. Sheldon’s appointment, which is yet subject to Senate confirmation, has accelerated what has been his intention to step down at the successful conclusion of the Campaign for Penn. However, t aking many factors into account, including the uncertain timing of the Senate hearings, Sheldon informed me earlier this week that he intends to resign as president of Penn no later than June 30, 1993, to give the Trustees the opportunity to begin immediately the search for Penn’s next president and to identify an acting president to serve in the interim. The executive committee met yesterday on campus; we have begun to convene the consultative committee to advise us on Penn’s next president and will be prepared to announce the acting president next week. Penn’s accomplishments since Sheldon’s arrival in February 1981 are without parallel in higher education. He has clearly been one of Penn’s greatest chief executives, leading one of higher edu- cation’s most thorough and effective institutional planning processes.
