HARRISON, Charles Custis:
Provost of the University of Pennsyl- vania; born in Philadelphia, May 3, 1844, a descendant of Thomas Harrison, of Car- lisle, England. who visited America be- fore the Revolution and there espoused the cause of the Colonies at the cost of the sacrifice of his English estate. His son established the first chemical manu- factory in America and this was car- ried on by his uncles under the firm name of Harrison Brothers. On his mother's side he is descended from the famous Custis family, of Virginia, whose name he bears. He was educated in the Episcopal Academy and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, and intended to make the law his profession, but during his absence on a visit to the army in 1862, with the purpose of joining its ranks, the late John Welsh proposed to his father to establish their two sons, with Walter S. Newhall, in the sugar-refining business, under the firm name of Harri- son, Newhall & Welsh. Young Harrison, then only nineteen, on his return home, found his warlike aspirations checked, and entered actively into the business formed for him, which quickly showed signs of prosperity. His brothers and brother-in-law subsequently entered the firm, which became known as Harrison, Frazier & Co., and later as the Franklin Sugar Refining Company. In 1892, when the refinery was sold. it was doing the largest business in value of products of any manufactory in Pennsylvania. Mr. Harrison attended to its mercantile in- terests, and in doing so traveled widely through the United States and Mexico. Aside from his business relations he was an active member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. and took great interest in the Episcopal Hospital, and also in the So- ciety for the Protection of Children from Cruelty, of which he is the President. He was elected a Trustee of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania in 1st6, and on the death of John Welsh succeeded him as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. In 1894, on resignation of the
highly efficient Provost Pepper, Mr. Har- rison was requested to accept this office. He declined, but was finally induced to accept it for a brief interval and after a year's experience consented in June, 1895, to be installed as Provost. A few days previously he had established, in honor of his father, "The George L. Har- rison foundation for the encouragement of liberal studies and the advancement of knowledge," endowing it with $500,000. Its purpose was to establish scholarships and fellowships for men of exceptional ability, increase the library, and aid pro- fessors to devote themselves to special work. The new Provost sought diligently to add to the resources and develop the capabilities of the university, a strik- ing result of his labors being the building of the dormitories, at a cost of $600,000. and of Houston Hall, as a college club house of $160,000-this money being ob- tained in the form of gifts from liberal patrons of the institution. This is but a portion of the funds raised during the administration of Provost Harrison, these having amounted to over $6.000,000. which have been applied greatly to the advan- tage and development of the university. Mr. Harrison is a member of the Penn- sylania Academy of the Fine Arts, the American Philosophical Society, the His- torical Society of Pennsylvania, the Phi Beta Kappa Society and the University Club. He married on Feb. 23, 1870, Ellen Nixon Waln. their family consisting of three sons and three daughters. Address, 400 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.
