What happens
The society was founded by Benjamin Franklin and John Bartram in 1743, lapsed into inactivity in 1746 but was revived in 1769 and united with the American Society for Promoting Useful Knowledge under the name 'American Philosophical Society Held at Philadelphia for Promoting Useful Knowledge'. It maintains a standing committee on American Improvements and one of its latest projects was to study the prospects of a canal to connect the Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware River.\nThe Society is looking into establishing a price for achievement in the field of navigation, astronomy, or natural philosophy. The scientist Jean-Hyacinthe Magellan has offered a grant to the President of the Society, Benjamin Franklin, in order to establish the Magellanic Premium, but the society could always do with more money...
