Oral history interviews with R. Anderson Pew, 1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/67712494

Pew focuses on the Glenmede Trust Company during the 1970s and 1980s, especially its Board of Directors and the Board's Committee on Grants. He discusses the issue of fidelity to the principles and wishes or the founders of the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the relations betwen the Glenmede Trust Company and the Sun Oil Company. He notes the challenges in 1989 of Glenmede's ownership of Sun and Oryx stock with regard to its responsibilities to the Pew Charitable Trusts, the Pew family, and the Sun and Oryx companies. He discusses the changes in the kinds of grantmaking, from reactive to proactive (including Trust-initiated programs), as well as changes in the areas of grantmaking (including the addition of the conservation field). He recalls Glenmede board members and staff, as well as Pew family members. He also notes his community service outside of Glenmede, particularly his work with gangs in Philadelphia.
