Benjamin Franklin Biography.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts on the 17th of January, 1706. Benjamin


Franklin assisted his father, a tallow chandler and soap boiler, in his
business from 1716 to 1718. In 1718 young Franklin was apprenticed
to his brother James, as a printer. Franklin ran away in 1723, heading
for Philadelphia where he worked for the printer Sam Keimer. After
traveling to London in 1724 to continue learning his trade as a
journeyman printer, Franklin returned to Philadelphia in 1726. By
1730, Franklin established himself as an independent master printer.
Franklin quickly became not only the most prominent printer in the
colonies, but the man who shaped and defined colonial and
revolutionary Philadelphia. As one who believed in the reasonableness
of man and that the phenomena of nature should serve him, Franklin
was greatly interested in the improvement of the condition of
mankind.
Benjamin Franklin was the center of the Junto, an elite group of
intellectuals who were at the core of Philadelphia politics and cultural
life for some time and who became the basis for the American
Philosophical Society. He was also instrumental in the improvement of
the lighting and paving of Philadelphia and in the organization of a
police force, fire companies, Pennsylvania Hospital, the Library
Company of Philadelphia, as well as the Academy and College of
Philadelphia.
Franklin was a key political leader at many levels. In 1736 he was
chosen clerk of the Pennsylvania Assembly, which position he held
until 1751. In 1737 he was made postmaster at Philadelphia. In 1754
he was sent to the Albany Convention where he submitted a plan for
colonial unity. He provisioned Braddock’s army and in 1756 was put
in charge of the northwestern frontier of the province by the
Governor. Twice he was sent to London as agent for the Assembly,
1757-1762 and 1764-1775. With the outbreak of the Revolution, he was
sent as Commissioner to France, 1776-1785, and in 1781 was on the
commission to make peace with Great Britain. Franklin was a member
of the Continental Congress, a signer of the Declaration of
Independence, and a framer of both the Pennsylvania and United
States Constitutions. Franklin also served as the American
Ambassador to France.
Franklin was the primary founder and shaper of the new institution
which became the University of Pennsylvania. His 1749 Proposals
Relating to the Education of Youth in Pensilvania were the basis of the
Academy which opened two years later. Franklin was responsible for
the hiring of William Smith as the first provost in 1754. From 1749 to
1755 Benjamin Franklin was President of the Board of Trustees of the
College, Academy and Charitable School of Philadelphia, and he
continued as a trustee of the College and then of the University of the
State of Pennsylvania until his death in 1790. For most of this period
he served as an elected trustee; but from 1785-1788 while President of
Pennsylvania’s Supreme Executive Council (the equivalent of
governor), Franklin was an ex-officio trustee.
After a long and exceptionally productive life in politics, science, and
publishing, Franklin died in 1790 in Philadelphia. He is buried in the
Christ Church burial ground.
