Reyburn, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia, on February 15, 1908. Attached hereto is the General Committee and Sub-Committees, as appointed by the Mayor and City Councils. 3 RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE 1. That a Celebration to commemorate the 225th Anniversary of the Founding of the City of Philadelphia should be held. 2. That the said Anniversary should be called Found- ers' Week. 3. That Founders' Week be held during the week beginning- October 4 and ending October 10, 1908. 4. That during this week loan exhibitions should be exhibited in the Conversation Halls, on the second and fourth floors of City Hall, where the public could see a display of historic interest, such as photographs, parch- ments, etc., concerning the City of Philadelphia. 5. The offices and corridors of City Hall should be appropriately and uniformly decorated and thrown open to the public for visitation for the entire week, and the office force be in a position to explain to the public the various routine work carried on in their respective departments, and the public should be solicited to visit their City Hall during this week. 6. The Committee requests that some arrangement be made by which lamp posts having clusters of electric lights could be placed at each side of the entrance to City Hall, one on each corner, and if necessary, between the points named, these lamp posts to be made of plaster work bronzed properly in order to give a permanent elTect. Each lamp post should have at least four panels around the base per- taining to Philadelphia's history. Also that a plaster hexagon be placed in each of the four City Squares, with panels about 6 x 10 feet, each representing a period of Philadelphia's his- tory. Designs, etc., should be left to the proper authorities. 7. That all historic sites in the City of Philadelphia should be marked with a placard and brief description, and as far as possible a picture of the building that was formerly located on the site. 8. That merchants are requested to appropriately deco- rate their display windows and interiors of their establishments with historic effect. 4 WEEKLY PROGRAM Sunday, October 4th The Anniversary should start on Sunday, October 4th, under the (Hrect manag-ement of the Religious Committee, which is composed of the clergymen of tlie various denomi- nations. Program for Sunday, Octol)er 4, 1908 1. That the Mayor issue a proclamation asking that the clergy throughout the city preach sermons of a historic nature. 2. That the fraternal, military and civic organizations attend church in the morning. 3. That at some specific time, say 2 or 2.45 p. m., the Sunday-school scholars throughout the city will sing simul- taneously "My Country, 'tis of Thee." 4. The committee to have erected a stand on the low lands of the plateau in front of Belmont Mansion, in Fair- mount Park, where the entire clergy of Philadelphia may assemble with their wives, and the combined church choirs be requested to assemble directly in front of the stand, sub- divided in their four parts, thus making the largest choir ever massed, approximating 10,000 singers. Surrounding them should be the general public, who would occupy the summit and hills, so that all could see and all could be seen. This service should be held about 4.30 in the afternoon and should be a vesper service, where familiar hymns, including "Nearer, My God, to Thee," "My Country, 'tis of Thee," and other such hymns should be sung, together with prayer, addresses and the Chautauqua salute. The music to be led by a chorister supported by a double quartette of cornets and trombones. It should be the endeavor of the commit- tee to make this the largest religious conclave ever held on earth. 5 Monday, October 5, 1908 Program to consist of a Reception to the Public by the Mayor and his Cabinet, at 3 p. m., in the Reception Room at City HalL In charge of the committee appointed by Councils. A meeting should be held at the Academy of Music in the evening, where a proper program should be carried out in commemoration of the City's History. In charge of the Historical Committee. Tuesday, October 6, 1908 The afternoon of Tuesday, the 6th, should be devoted to the municipal and military display. The parade should be of such a character as to show the evolution of the various municipal departments and military organizations of our city, such as the first high constables, police officers, fire brigades, military organizations, etc., as they existed in the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Possibly this will be the most forcible way of developing the appreciation of the public as to the present condition. In charge of the Councilmanic and Military Committee. Wednesday, October 7, 1908 The afternoon of Wednesday, the 7th, should be set apart for a great industrial and trades display, parading in two grand divisions, one going north and the other south. This also should be so arranged as to show the evolution of the various industries in historic manner. The com- mittee desire to request that all features of advertisement be eliminated from this demonstration as far as possible, In charge of the Industrial Committee. 6 Thursday, October 8, 1908 School Children's Day The school children should be permitted to visit the historic sites that have been marked, under the supervision of their ])rincipals and teachers, as rei)resentinfy each school, and that they assemble at ii o'clock in Independence Square, where a proper anniversary observance will be held. In charge of the Historical Committee. At 12 o'clock a Naval Display should be held on the Delaware River. In charge of the Naval Committee. Friday, October 9, 1908 A historic parade under the auspices of the historians and artists, consisting- of floats and various other means of displaying historic facts to the public. This parade should be a p-dvt of the ])ageantry that should 1)e held on b'ranklin Meld, where the history of the city should be dramatized and the lloats used in paradr should be in the display. In charge of the Historical Committee. Saturday, October 10, 1908 Sports and hield Day, wlien boat races, speeding and general aflilelie s])orts should be held in difil'erent ])hices throughoul the city, and the Knights 'J'em])lar should be rccpiested to hold their annual conclave in the Park on this afternoon. In charge of the Councilmanic Committee. I HISTORICAL COMMITTEE The Historical Committee will be comprised of the historians and representatives of the various institutions of education and art, and the said committee shall have full charge : 1. Of the loan exhibitions to be displayed in City Hall. 2. The marking of historic sites within the confines of the old city proper, namely, from South Street to Vine Street and between the two rivers. 3. They are to have full charge of the meeting to be held at the Academy of Music on Monday evening of the Founders' Week, together with the School Children's Day on Thursday of the same week, as well as the full super- vision of the historic parade which will be on Friday of the same week. It is the desire of the Executive Committee that these various displays may be so arranged as to show the his- toric accuracy and evolution of various historic periods in connection with our city. RELIGIOUS COMMITTEE The Religious Committee, composed of the clergymen of the various denominations, are requested to organize in a manner that will enable them to carry out a proper observ- ance of the Anniversary Service to be held in the city on Sunday, October 4, 1908. The Executive Committee submit the following pro- gram : 1. That the Mayor issue a proclamation asking that historic sermons be preached in every church in the city on Sunday morning. 2. That the fraternal, military and civic organizations will attend church in the morning, and further, that at some specific time, say 2.30 or 2.45, every Sunday-school will sing- simultaneously "My Country, 'tis of Thee." 3. That the committee have erected a platform on the plateau at Belmont Mansion, in Fairmount Park, where the entire clerg}' of Philadelj)hia may assemble with the com- bined choirs of Philadelphia, properly organized around the platform, and that the people of Philadelphia be invited to attend, so that V'esper Services may be held at 4 p.m. This will make the largest religious conclave, possibly, ever held in the world, led by the largest choir that was ever massed. Familiar hymns should be used, so that the vast multitude could sing under the direction of some leader, led by a series of cornets and trumpets ; prayer and addresses could be made and the Chautauqua handkerchief salute be given. Care should be taken to have this stand so erected that the multitude would be on the elevation, so that they could see the stand and those on the stand could see the multitude. INDUSTRIAL COMMITTEE The Industrial Committee to be composed of those representing the various industries and business and pro- fessional life of Philadelphia, and they are particularly re- quested through their various subdivisions to interest the manufacturers and business interests generally in Phila- delphia toward having a great industrial parade on Wed- nesday of the Founders' Week. It is the desire of the committee as far as possible to have the industrial establishments and business places pre- sent a display that will show the evolution of their various enterprises, this, possibly, being the most forcible way of developing the appreciation of present conditions. This parade should be the only one consuming more than one- half a day, and that left entirely to the discretion of the Industrial Committee. It is the desire of the committee to ha\e all parades or exhibitions held in the afternoon, in order to enable the merchants to transact business in the morning; and by 9 dividing this parade into two grand divisions, one march- ing north and the other marching sonth at the same time on Broad Street, it would enable a tremendous procession to be viewed, which would not require them to start before I o'clock, if the various divisions and displays were re- quired to march in close order, thus preventing a small exhibit spreading over an entire square. MUNICIPAL AND MILITARY COMMITTEE The Committee on Municipal and Military Display will be the joint committees of Select and Common Coun- cils, together with the Military Committee under Col. E. de V. Morrell, Chairman. This committee will have full charge of the Reception to be held in City Hall on the Monday of Founders' Week, and also have full charge of the Municipal and Military Display to be held on Tuesday of the same week. It is the desire of the Executive Committee that this parade should be so arranged as to show the evolution, as near as possible, of the various municipal departments and military organizations of our city, such as the first high constables, the first police officers, the first fire brigades, the first military organizations, etc., as indicative of what they appeared like in the seventeenth, eighteenth, nine- teenth and twentieth centuries, beginning with the seven- teenth century and having the climax of the present-day conditions. This, possibly, will be the most forcible way of developing the appreciation of the public as to present conditions. This committee will have full power of subdivision in whatever manner necessary to enable them to develop the most creditable display. They also have full charge of the Sports and Field Day, which will be Saturday of the same week, the pro- gram for this day to be entirely in the hands of this com- mittee, subject to the approval of the Executive Committee. lO NAVAL COMMITTEE The Naval Committee shall have full charg^e of the naval display on the Delaware River on the 8th of Oetober. 'IRANSroRTA ri()i\ CoMAiirTRE The Transpoi-tation Committee will have charge of all railway and steam transportation during the Founders' Week. II EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Chairniaii Hon. John E.
