COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WILLIAM PENN TERCENTENARY COMMITTEE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1944 iii 2W744183 I Ii i I'lli 11I I IN THE NAME AND BY AUTHORITY OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA- GOVERNOR'S OFFICE PROCLAMATION WILLIAM PENN DAY Whereas, Tuesday, October 24, 1944, marks the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Penn, Quaker Founder and Pro- prietor of our great Commonwealth, and one of the truly great men of history who symbolized by his beliefs and deeds the hope of the human race for a better world; and Whereas, The tercentenary of the birth of the Founder of Pennsyl- vania is a fitting time to pay more than the customary annual homage to the memory of one whose tolerance, wisdom, enlightenment and vision as a statesman of the common weal render him an outstanding figure among the builders of states, and whose life and teachings pro- vided many of the basic ideas of religious and political freedom and individual opportunity upon which our American liberty is founded; and Whereas, The tercentenary is also an appropriate time to study anew the writings and accomplishments of this great man who ex- erted so positive a force in the record of human progress, contributing to the basic thought underlying much of our present educational philosophy and to the development of that great charter of our Ameri- can liberties, the Constitution of the United States; Now, Therefore, I, Edward Martin, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, both in accordance with the spirit of the Act of June 22, 1931, and in especial recognition of this the three hundredth anni- versary of his birth, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, October 24, 1944, as WILLIAM PENN DAY, and call upon the schools and all other public agencies and institutions and all the historical, patriotic, civic, and other organizations of the Commonwealth to conduct appropriate exercises and undertake such other observances as may seem fitting to their needs and circumstances and which will suitably recognize and pay tribute to the memory of the Quaker Founder of Pennsylvania. I further call upon all of the citizens of this Commonwealth, and V indeed upon all free men wherever they may be, to pause at some time during this year to study and contemplate the life and the princi- ples of this truly great statesman who did so much to establish our heritage of Justice, Tolerance and Freedom. GIVEN under my hand and the Great Seal of the State at the City of Harrisburg, this first day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-four, and of the Commonwealth, the one hundred and sixty-eighth.

  • JAMES LOGAN the Political Career of a Colonial Scholar
    JAMES LOGAN The Political Career of a Colonial Scholar By E. GORDON ALDERFER* A CROSS Sixth Street facing the shaded lawn of Independence Square in Philadelphia, on the plot now hidden by the pomp- ous facade of The Curtis Publishing Company, once stood a curious little building that could with some justice lay claim to being the birthplace of the classic spirit of early America. Just as the State House across the way symbolizes the birth of independ- ence and revolutionary idealism, the first public home of the Loganian Library could represent (were it still standing) the balanced, serene, inquiring type of mind so largely responsible for nurturing the civilization of the colonies. The Loganian, the first free public library in America outside of Boston and by some odds the greatest collection for public use in the colonial era, was the creation of James Logan, occasionally reputed to have been the most learned man in the colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century. Logan journeyed to Amer- ica with William Penn in 1699 as Penn's secretary, and became in effect the resident head of the province. Two years later, when Penn left his province never to return, Logan was commissioned Secretary of the Province and Commissioner of Property. He was soon installed as Clerk of the Provincial Council and became its most influential member in spite of his youthfulness. Even- tually, in 1731, Logan became Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and, five years later, as President of the Provincial Council, he assumed *Dr. E.

  • The ^Penn Collection
    The ^Penn Collection A young man, William Penn fell heir to the papers of his distinguished father, Admiral Sir William Penn. This collec- A tion, the foundation of the family archives, Penn carefully preserved. To it he added records of his own, which, with the passage of time, constituted a large accumulation. Just before his second visit to his colony, Penn sought to put the most pertinent of his American papers in order. James Logan, his new secretary, and Mark Swanner, a clerk, assisted in the prepara- tion of an index entitled "An Alphabetical Catalogue of Pennsylvania Letters, Papers and Affairs, 1699." Opposite a letter and a number in this index was entered the identifying endorsement docketed on the original manuscript, and, to correspond with this entry, the letter and number in the index was added to the endorsement on the origi- nal document. When completed, the index filled a volume of about one hundred pages.1 Although this effort showed order and neatness, William Penn's papers were carelessly kept in the years that followed. The Penn family made a number of moves; Penn was incapacitated and died after a long illness; from time to time, business agents pawed through the collection. Very likely, many manuscripts were taken away for special purposes and never returned. During this period, the papers were in the custody of Penn's wife; after her death in 1726, they passed to her eldest son, John Penn, the principal proprietor of Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia, there was another collection of Penn deeds, real estate maps, political papers, and correspondence.

  • Introduction I
    389 Introduction Jean R. Soderlund Lehigh University lThe 350th anniversary of William Penn's birth compels us to think once again about the man who conceived the "holy experiment" in Pennsylvania. As residents and historians of his commonwealth we celebrate the highborn Quaker Englishman who devoted much of his fortune and energies to creating a model society in America. As with Pennsylvania's tercentenary of Penn's charter some thir- teen years ago, this commemoration retains the ambiguity that has haunted rela- tions between Penn and his colony since the founding. We embrace him for his idealism in requiring peaceful negotiations with the Native Americans and mutual respect among people of different religions. Yet we know too of flaws in his hu- manitarianism-for example, his ownership of enslaved Africans-and perhaps thereby justify our own failure three centuries later to conform to the spirit of his endeavor. Penn holds a grip on the collective conscience of Pennsylvanians, to a much greater extent than the founder of any other North American colony, despite the skyscrapers that now overshadow his statue on Philadelphia City Hall. If we do not know quite what to make of William Penn, it shouldn't come as a surprise, for he was the son of an English admiral, a courtier, and a landlord of extensive holdings in Ireland and England as well as Pennsylvania. Born in the midst of the English Civil War, in 1644, Penn first alienated his father by joining the despised Society of Friends, then managed a reconciliation, without recanting his convincement, shortly before the admiral's death.

  • W. Penn -Intent Outcome
    Doctrine of Christian Discovery A Journey of Healing The Workshops on the Doctrine of Discovery are a project of the Racial Social and Economic Justice Committee of the NEYM with technical assistance provided by the American Friends Service Committee Healing Justice Program. To schedule a workshop, contact: Rachel Carey Harper [email protected] HANDOUT: Penn and Indians “William Penn and Native Peoples: Intent -- Outcome” Statement of the Indian Committee of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting regarding repudiating the DOD (2012) Before William Penn himself arrived in Philadelphia, he had already sent correspondence to Native American leaders expressing his desire that they and Quakers would dwell together in unity and respect. Penn met with the respected Chief Tamanend and other Lenni Lenape leaders, learned their language, and attempted to recompense them for the land on which the Quakers would be settling. Penn was under the impression that he had rights to the land through a land grant from the British king to his father, for whom the colony was named. Penn was a product of the thinking of the time: the Doctrine of Discovery, through which Europeans were granted lands in the so-called New World. It is evident that Quakers in the leadership of William Penn tried from their beginnings in the American colonies to deal peacefully with Native peoples. ... The DRAFT--Yearly Meetings Contemporary Indian witness--DoD UNDRIP Indian committee still meets to this day, embracing roles both as a granting group to financially support Native projects around the country and in North and South America, as a source for information about issues in Indian Country today, and as a guide for Friends‘ witness with Native Peoples as we share aspirations for peace, justice, and an earth restored.
