Allen Jay is considered one of the most remarkable Friends of the 19th century.  Join Joshua Brown, editor of the new edition of Jay's autobiography; Tom Hamm, Earlham Archivist; and Max Carter, who has done extensive research on Jay's work as they share insights into one of the best-known Quakers of the 19th century.

The Symposium includes a visit to Earlham Friends Collection, a tour of campus as Jay knew it, a visit to his grave in the Earlham Cemetery, a visit to West Richmond Friends Meeting and, on Sunday, a visit to Farmer's Institute in West Lafayette, IN, where Jay and his wife Martha lived before and during the Civil War.
