Carter, Joseph Coleman

Joseph Carter is professor emeritus of Temple University in Philadelphia. His primary subject, George Williams, was one of the founders of the White-Williams Foundation. Williams (1766-1850), a Quaker, together with Bishop William White established the foundation in 1800, originally as the successor to the Magdalen Society which assisted girls who had not followed society's norms and needed a home and employment. The Foundation later provided scholarships to needy, academically-gifted boys and girls in Philadelphia high schools.
