It is fitting that we should record our great sense of loss in the recent death of Isaac Sharpless, LL.D., late President of Haver- ford College, who was in fact the founder of the Friends' His- torical! Society and its first President. To him more than to any other we owe the organization of this body, which was the out- come of the Centennial celebration at Friends' Meeting House at Fourth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, in the summer of 1904. On that remarkable occasion, before an audience of twenty- three hundred, Isaac Sharpless, in his own inimitable way, re- viewed the social conditions among Philadelphia Friends a cen- tury before. When the souvenir book of the Centennial was published soon after, his Introduction, which was also the first official publication of this Society, contained the following striking paragraph : " It is well occasionally to look into the past, and gather up the standards and principles of our ancestors in the faith. It is well if it lead us to reconsecrate ourselves to the cause for which they wrought the pure religion of Christ. We may not adopt all their methods ; the testimonies which they up- held may in part be replaced by others more vital to our day. But those among us who see beneath the surface will feel no dis- position to build on any other groundwork than theirs, nor to adopt modes of action essentially out of harmony with their prin- ciples. The lack of historic background, while compatible with much Christian goodness and zeal and openness of mind, seems, when applied to congregations, to lead to opportunism ; the selec- tion of methods dictated by the emergencies of the present, and to destroy that continuity of principle so essential to the preserva- tion of the type. If the spirit and motives of the best Friends of the past were known and read by all of us who bear the name of Friend, they would be interwoven through our lives as through the pages of prophecy is interwoven, 'thus saith the Lord/" Witih this most characteristic setting forth of the principles which he fek should guide the future acts of this Historical Society, we 4212. 9i BULLETIN OF FRIENDS' HISTORICAL SOCIETY. may pause for a moment's backward glance at the career of this Quaker historian. Isaac Sharpless, son of Aaron and Susanna (Forsythe) Sharp- less, was born December i6th, 1848. A ponderous quarto tome of over 1300 pages, published in 1887, preserves the record of the immigrant ancestor John Sharpless and the thousands of his substantial progeny in die community in which Isaac Sharpless was a birthright Friend. The farm of his father and grand- father Isaac Sharpless, where he was born, had been the home- stead of the family for several generations. It lay at the foot of Osborne Hill among the gently undulating hills of East Bradford, now (since 1856) Birmingham Township, Chester County, Penn- sylvania. The impressionable years of boyhood were spent here, where his daily walks took him over the historic battlefield of the Brandywine, and where the semi-weekly worship of the family- led a little southeasterly to Birmingham Friends' Meeting House (Orthodox) the old Meeting House of the "Hicksite" body near by having served as the hospital on the battle ground. He was a diligent reader of the choice collection of books in the old Birmingham Library, supported by members of that meet- ing and others. From this little library fiction was carefully ex- cluded but its absence was filled by a double portion of biography, history, travel and popular science. From childhood he had listened to Revolutionary tales of the neighborhood and had seen the graves of the British and American soldiers in the burial ground at the old Meeting House. Doubtless these early influ- ences told upon his career, which began among the historic sur- roundings in which he grew up, but it was his home training that had more to do in making him what he was than the historic features of the country. His first school was that conducted by Friends near the Meeting House. From Birmingham Isaac Sharpless went to Westtown School in November, 1862, where, after completing its course of study, he returned to teach mathematics in 1868, and where the next au- tumn, his parents came and resided for five years as Superin- tendent and Matron. With the exception of one year 1872-3 spent at Harvard, where he obtained the degree of Bachelor of ISAAC SHARPLESS. 92 Science in the Lawrence Scientific School, Isaac Sharpless re- mained at Westtown. In the autumn of 1875 he was appointed Instructor of Mathematics at Haverford College, where he spent the remainder of his useful life. In 1876 (August loth) he mar- ried Lydia Trimble Cope, daughter of Paschal and Amy A. Cope of West Chester, Pennsylvania. She survives him, with one son and five daughters. In 1879 Isaac Sharpless was made Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, in which capacity he served until 1884. Readers of Philadelphia periodicals will recall the able articles, on the aspect of the heavens at different periods, which constantly ap- peared over his signature during those years, and which, together with the reports from ithe Haverford Observatory, made its serv- ice known throughout the academic world, both here and in Europe. For three years he served as Dean of the College, when he was elected President in 1887. His Honorary Degrees were, 1883, Sc.D. from the University of Pennsylvania; 1889, LL.D. from Swarthmore College; 1903, L.H.D. from Hobart College; 1915, LL.D. from Harvard. His first literary efforts are to be found in the bound MS. volumes of "The Cabinet," a monthly periodical supported by the teachers and older students of Westtown. His contributions " always possessed a virility which distinguished them from others." A contemporary says of him: "The slow progress of educational matters in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting rested strongly upon his mind." The autumn of 1880 witnessed the advent of " The Student," a modest little monthly magazine " devoted to the interests of education in the Society of Friends." The editors and publishers were Isaac Sharpless and Watson W. Dewees, and it is a striking fact that " it was the first venture of the kind in the history of American Quakerism/' Its management changed at the end of four years, but during that period there were several signed articles which were characteristic, besides his editorials. Any attempt to write the history of education in the Society of Friends must take into account the conspicuous part played by Isaac Sharpless in Philadelphia in the early 8o's of the last cen- 93 BULLETIN OF FRIENDS' HISTORICAL SOCIETY. tury. When the "Westonian" appeared in 1895 it had his un- qualified support, and his contributions are to be found in the appended bibliography. Isaac Sharpless' best monument is the college infto which en- tered his whole personality. Here for thirty years he remained, much beloved and universally respected; a virile figure, with something of the old time simplicity which left its impress on every student who sat under him. It was his custom throughout to keep in personal touch with every class entering college by teaching two of their courses himself. He has unconsciously given us a true picture of himself in his book, "The American College," in which he describes the ideal college President : "... He is not primarily a taskmaster or disciplinarian, but a man who is giving his life for a cause, and not only for an ab- stract cause, but for (men) as individuals ; that he has a message for them which he must deliver, and that he feels that the very future of one or more of them lies in the proper use of that power. When he feels thus, he will preach, and his sermon will not be forgotten by some of them." Not only was he serious in his ideals ; he was full of the humor which one finds in a Lincoln. When applauded for a long time at the Haverford Alumni Dinner of 1918, he said: "I clearly understand that the most popular thing I ever did as President of Haverford was to resign." He often told the story, repeated by Dean Briggs in one of his books, about his conversation with a certain college culprit: I.S. : " I have reason to believe that thee is both a thief and a liar ! " Answer : " President Sharpless, I may be a liar, but I give you my word I'm not a thief !" It was this ability to loosen a tight situation, to use the solvent of a tell- ing epigram, that contributed markedly to his great and lasting influence. Isaac Sharpless's pedagogic inclinations, and perhaps his humor may have come from his greatgrandfather, John Forsythe (1754- 1840), a sandy-haired, gay young Presbyterian from Ireland who later joined Friends and became noted as a teacher at Birming- ham and at Westtown. In addition to his Presidency, 1904-1911, of Friends' Historical ISAAC SHARPLESS. 94 Society of Philadelphia, he was active in other historical work, serving as Executive Councillor, 1905-1916, and President, 1909- 1912, of the Pennsylvania History Club; Vice President, 1914- 1915, and President, 1915-1916, of Friends* Historkal Society of England ; member of the Committee of Seven Advisers to the Works of William Penn, 1910-1920, and Councillor, 1910-1920, of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania. His books quickly gained for him high repute for insight into human motives, sym- pathetic yet unbiased interpretation of Quaker policies, scientific care in the weighing of evidence, and a corresponding moderation in the statement of conclusions. Thus his was a foremost place among the historians of Pennsylvania. An equally high ideal was held up to all who followed Isaac Sharpless in his work for clean politics, since his interests were sufficiently wide to impress the reader of his record with his ac- complishments in the quiet life which sought no lime-light outside the circle of his duty. His personality, for this very reason, ex- tended his efforts for the realization of his ideals to his college, his neighborhood and his country. The mind of the man was strictly accountable to a sensitive conscience. Duty and not ex- pediency always determined his course, and the history of Quak- erism and of his State will be the poorer for his loss. Though he had been appointed as one of the Commission, upon the re- vision of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, the condition of his health did not permit him to serve. His death occurred at his home at Haverford, January i6th, 1920, interment being made at Haverford Friends' Meeting House. CONTRIBUTIONS TO A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ISAAC SHARPLESS, 1879-1919- Books.
