  Biography of John Penn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Penn favored the resolution introduced at Halifax which empowered the delegates to the Continental Congress to "concur with the delegates of other colonies in declaring Independency, and forming foreign alliances..." He returned to Philadelphia in time to join other delegates in voting for and signing the Declaration of Independence.
Penn was more trustful of the people than his colleagues; he remained at his post, but he felt that the people should be made to realize the seriousness of the situation.
John Penn's character, his energy, his keen mind, and his loyalty were all used for the benefit of North Carolina and the new nation.

 University of Pennsylvania: Restructuring Computing
Penn can't magically increase the total amount of money available for computing, but we can ensure that funding decisions are made as close as possible to the people affected by them and made along with other decisions that will determine Penn's future.
Penn's campaign to restructure all core administrative activities over the next few years, for example--and apply the savings to the academic mission--is largely predicated on the capabilities of modern information systems.
Penn's schools and administrative units are responsible for the frontline support of their own members, including support of the desktop computer (and its relation to the network) and projects and innovations that make the user's work easier.
