  Biography	William Guggenheim was born on November 6, 1868, in Philadelphia, PA, the youngest of seven sons of Meyer and Barbara (Myers) Guggenheim. After attending Philadelphia public schools, Guggenheim studied in the Science Course at the University of Pennsylvania for two years. He then transferred into the Wharton School of Finance, intending to study and practice Law, but switched back to the Science Course after six months as a result of his father's increasing mining interests. Guggenheim graduated in 1889, having focused his studies on Chemistry and Metallurgy. He went on to great success in various mining and smelting ventures until his retirement in 1901, particularly as General Manager at M. Guggenheim's Sons in Mexico, during which time he turned a supposedly worthless mine into an industrial empire. Guggenheim was described as a hyperactive alumnus, serving various leadership positions within the University of Pennsylvania Club of New York City, and providing the Guggenheim Honor Cup to recognize distinguished alumni. He was also Honorary President of the International Benjamin Franklin Society and believed in applying the "common sense of Benjamin Franklin" to world affairs. A staunch Republican and anti-Communist, Guggenheim self-published several pamphlets of his political views and spoke regularly at University of Pennsylvania gatherings up until his death at 72 on June 27, 1941.
