The official pictures from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.

 

The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.

 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.

 

The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.

 

Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

This tavern is located in Philadelphia, Pa and was built in 1773 but burned in a fire in 1834. It was reconstructed shortly after that. This tavern was a favorite hang out for notables like Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. It was also the site of the first Continental Congress.

A touch of a hand has power to conjure.

Touch a land and a life is born

Gentle Touch on a face gives comfort

Gentle touch on the head gives security

Gentle touch on the back gives appreciation

Human should use these powers wisely

Experience of touch determines your health.

As your touch is felt...

Thanks Senate, chalk up another win for the Terrorists. I can't believe Congress would let fear and the Bush administration push through a bill that makes the telecom industry immune from prosecution for illegally spying on Americans.

 

Nobody said liberty was easy. Just the opposite. Why can't these people understand that throwing out the 4th amendment accomplishes exactly what the terrorists wanted?

 

This image was designed by Chad with the quote and editing input by me. It prints up very nicely for stickers.

Declaring the week of Franklin's birth “Printing & Publishing Week” in Massachusetts.

 

Curious, because Printing & Publishing Week had been observed prior to this Proclamation. Was this a renewal of the State's commitment to, or recognition of the importance of P&P to the Commonwealth?

Benjamin Franklin in 1723 (or The Young Franklin), located in front of Weightman Hall at the University of Pennsylvania at 33rd Street south of Locust Street, was designed by R. Tait McKeznie in 1914. The 8-foot tall bronze sculpture portrays a young Franklin arriving in Philadelphia. It was commissioned in 1910 and dedicated at the 10th reunion of the University of Pennsylvania Class of 1904. The figure was modeled in clay from a nude so that the rhythm of walking would be convincing, and the head is based on the bone structure of Houdon’s bust of Franklin.

 

The University of Pennsylvania, commonly referenced as Penn or UPenn, is a private Ivy League research university. It is one of nine colonial colleges, established in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin, who first convened the board of trustees in 1749, arguably making it the fifth-oldest institution of higher learning in the country. The current core comps covers 299 acres in a contiguous area of West Philadelphia's University City, with the older heart comprising the University of Pennsylvania Campus Historic District. The university currently has four undergraduate schools serving approximately 10,000 students and 12 graduate and professional schools, serving another approximately 13,000 students.
