	10/5/04, Sheldon Hackney: David Boies Professor - Almanac, Vol. 51, No. 6
		Sheldon Hackney, professor and chair of history, has been named the David Boies Professor in SAS, Dean Samuel H. Preston announced.
		President Emeritus Sheldon Hackney led Penn from 1981 to 1993, during which time Penn more than quadrupled its endowment and reaffirmed its commitment to undergraduate education.
		Hackney returned to Penn in 1997 and teaches courses on the South since the Civil War, the 1960s, and the American identity.

	Humanities in the 21st Century
		Sheldon Hackney: You are at the forefront of a revolution in teaching, driven by and made possible by the computer.
		Hackney: One of the things that one sees right away is the advantages and also maybe some of the dangers of this medium, just like fax machines and answering machines: It destroys the need for or obviates the need for simultaneity.
		Hackney: I would think the worry for faculty and intellectuals in general, and maybe other authority figures, is that with democratized access to knowledge, if you think that knowledge is power, all of the mediating structures might no longer exist, so society doesn't need them anymore.

	Who Owns History
		HACKNEY: The other function of a perception like that is that it ought to bring to us an awareness that we ourselves harbor world views or moral values that in a hundred years are going to look very bad.
		HACKNEY: It is a great challenge for anyone who presents history to the public: to give them something with which to think and then to provoke them somehow into using it in thinking about their past.
		HACKNEY: Sticking with slavery for a moment, one of the things that a historian would be interested in is how the institution came into being, why it was sustained over time, how it changed, and then how it came to an end.

	A Conversation with Paul Fussell
		Hackney: You would argue, then, that the way Americans experienced and thought about and viewed World War II was really shaped by the literature of World War I. Fussell: Very much.
		Hackney: In one of your essays, you quote someone as saying that war is and also the punishment of a crime at the same time.
		Hackney: Turning back to war, one of the ironies -- an irony that historians play upon -- is that Woodrow Wilson's war to make the world safe for democracy did just the opposite: It paved the way for fascism in Italy and nazism in Germany.

		As all Sheldon fans know, the prize goes to the university president who does the most to look the other way when free speech is under assault on campus.
		The Sheldon is a statuette that looks something like the Oscar, except that the Oscar shows a man with no face looking straight ahead, whereas the Sheldon shows a man with no spine looking the other way.
		It is named for Sheldon Hackney, former president of the University of Pennsylvania and a modern legend in looking the other way.

	Francis Sheldon Hackney, Institutional Planning, University of Pennsylvania Archives
		Hackney considered these four priorities to be the main staples of his educational planning at Penn for the next ten years.
		Hackney considered the state of Locust Walk to be so important because, as the physical nucleus of the campus, it held a great deal of symbolic significance.
		Hackney's constant revision of his educational plans proved that he truly wanted to "Choose Penn's Future." His Campaign for Penn, also incredibly important, became one of the largest fundraising drives ever attempted by an American university.

	★ Reviews for Hackney,_Sheldon
		You cannot help but feel for Hackney as he describes the hell he went through to be appointed, or the absurd politics surrounding his confirmation.
		It is unfortunate that, 10 years later, Hackney still defends his coddling of the enemies of free speech and newspaper thieves, and his defense of speech codes, though in fairness he writes that he no longer believes in codes.
		Hackney's riveting account of the way in which the mobilized right wing of America tried to prevent him from heading the National Endowment for the Humanities is a chilling case study of the lengths to which Clinton haters went to discredit the president.

	"Appointment With Destiny" by Todd Gitlin
		The president in question, Sheldon Hackney, born and raised in Birmingham, Ala., was a Methodist, but the wrong kind--a seeker of common ground.
		Hackney is too polite, too evenhanded, and too close to his story to ask such a persnickety question.
		Today Hackney is back professing history at Penn, and the Christian Coalition's ex-mastermind has just led the Georgia Republican Party to senatorial victory by impugning the Democratic incumbent, a triple amputee, for unpatriotic thoughts.

	As Usual, Many Formidable Contenders for 'Sheldon' Award
		As the growing legions of Sheldon fans know, this is the trophy that goes to the college president who did the most during 1998 to look the other way while students stole or burned whole stacks of campus newspapers.
		The Sheldon is a statuette that looks something like the Oscar, except that the Oscar shows a man with no face looking straight ahead, while the Sheldon shows a man with no spine looking the other way.
		Some Sheldon judges argued that apparent praise for stealing, burning, and banning papers was too active a stance to qualify as "looking the other way," but they were overruled.

		President Hackney referred the case to his assistant, Stephen Steinberg, who e-mailed Kors about "your wholly appropriate concerns" about Read's decision, emphasizing that "If after talking with Larry [Moneta], you feel things are not satisfactorily resolved, please let me know, and I'd be happy to talk further...

		Clinton and Gore did well in the South because both were from the region, and Clinton "took a more moderate position" on a number of economic issues, which allowed him to be seen as a "middle of the road Democrat," rather than a liberal, Moore added.
