Samuel Magaw (415)
Election date: 1784Samuel Magaw (1735–1 December 1812) was an educator, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1784. Born in rural Pennsylvania, Magaw studied at the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1757. In need of financial assistance, he agreed to take charge of a charity school for German immigrants in return for room and board at his University. After graduating, he studied divinity and traveled to England where he received Holy Orders in 1767. Magaw returned to America and spent some time as a missionary in Delaware before serving as rector at St. Paul’s Church in Philadelphia starting in 1781. While working at St. Paul’s he did not neglect his academic career: Magaw earned his D.D. from his alma mater (1783), served as vice-provost and professor of moral philosophy there (1782-1791), and helped establish the Academy of Philadelphia and the Academy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. He died in Philadelphia, having helped further the organization of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States.
