Franklin Benjamin Sanborn: Human Services Innovator

Harris Chaiklin

University of Maryland, hchaikli{at}comcast.net

In social welfare history, F. B. Sanborn is only vaguely remembered. Yet he initiated landmark programs in public welfare and institutions for the mentally ill, retarded, deaf, and criminal. He played a major role in creating and sustaining the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. His program innovations were so far ahead of his time that even today, public welfare is trying to attain goals that he took for granted. In addition, he was active in other organizations and was an author and editor. This article explores Sanborn’s history with the aim of bringing it into focus so that he might receive the recognition that he deserves.

Key Words: F.B. Sanborn • public welfare • corrections • National Conference • American Social Science Association
