GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Over more than a Century, many things have changed in America, particularly as relates to the Hersheys’ philanthropy – The Hershey Industrial School (which includes the “ideal community” or Hershey, Pennsylvania). That which the Hersheys created has no parallel. A consequence of the passage of so much time, precise definitions are needed that capture these changes and add specific meaning to the vocabulary used to explain the Hersheys philanthropy. 

The method of sighting references throughout this text is also somewhat different. This difference is deliberate. Most of the cite references specify the year in which the material was published or came into existence. This referencing is an important indicator. Generally speaking, sources published when Milton Hershey was alive, or soon after his death, tend to reflect a view more in line with that of Milton Hershey. When the date of publication follows Milton Hershey’s death in 1945, much of the writing reflects influences other than Milton Hershey’s.

As Mr. Hershey tightened his belt, the architect's plans were put away and virtually forgotten. The Hershey Community Building and Theatre, originally planned for construction in 1916, would not be constructed until 1929. The Community Building and Theatre were constructed during the Great Depression as part of Hershey's great building campaign. The Community Building and Theatre were built following the original 1916 plans drawn by C. Emlen Urban, a noted Lancaster, PA architect, with construction under the supervision of D. Paul Witmer. When completed, the building solidly stood in the center of town, spanning the block between Chocolate and Caracas Avenues, and bordered by Cocoa Avenue.

(George - 1938; Prudence - 1949). In the words of Milton Hershey “Much of the credit for the success of the lives of the students of the school was due and is due to the splendid work of Mr. and Mrs. Copenhaver. They have been real parents to all the boys who have come under their loving and thoughtful care.

Hersheys’ Children’s Home Campus” - substantially all of Derry Township and the surrounding land that from time to time is acquired for School purposes and adjoins or is conveniently near School property as contemplated by the first recital and Paragraph 7 of the Deed of Trust, which includes the “ideal community” of Hershey which serves as the “home” of the Beneficiaries.

Hersheys’ Children’s Home Development Plan” - the step-by-step development plan pursuant to which the Hersheys pursued a wise plan through which they built The Hershey Industrial School.[38]  Their end was achieved, but the achievement was no small task.  To achieve their objectives, it was prudent for the Hersheys to pursue their philanthropy in the following sequence:

  1. The philanthropy required a profit driven economic engine to fund it.  Thus, the Hersheys created, and verified the economic viability of, the Business component (e.g. Hershey Chocolate Company, which serves as the profit driven economic engine that funds the philanthropy), while at the same time providing employment and stability to the Community (which is the Home of each Current Beneficiary).
  2. To build a permanent “ideal community,” they would need a large land area.  Inasmuch as Lancaster (the original site of operation of Lancaster Caramel Company and Hershey Chocolate Company) was somewhat already developed, Lancaster would not suffice.  Thus, the Hersheys had to locate a large area of land well suited to producing chocolate, serving as an “ideal community,” and operating the Hersheys’ Children’s Home.  They found Derry Township and the surrounding area rural and well suited to such other requirements.
  3. To create an “ideal community,” the Hersheys would need to build and verify the long term viability of the Community, as well as the additional Businesses that operate the Community.  This Community must serve as the Home of the Current Beneficiaries, as well as those who play some role in delivering the benefits of the Trust to the Current Beneficiaries (whether, for example, as a teacher, houseparent, worker or community member).
  4. Once the viability of the Hershey Chocolate Company and the Community was sufficiently validated by the Hersheys, the Hersheys then set about to establish, and improve, the Education system in Derry Township.  This system serves to educate the Current Beneficiaries, as well as those who are members of the Community.

Once the viability of these components had been sufficiently validated, the Hersheys then set about to make their “ideal community” permanent.  For this permanence, they chose the Trust.  The timing of when to make the overall structure, or portions thereof, permanent is driven by both the timing of when to bring the Beneficiaries into the development plan and the confidence that the overall structure has proven its effectiveness and viability in perpetuity.

When one considers the full scope and implications of The Hershey Industrial School, 32 years for designing the plan, determining the viability of each component, fully implementing such design, and making The Hershey Industrial School subject to a permanent structure makes sense.  This well thought out, step-by-step development plan is referred to as the Hersheys’ Children’s Home Development Plan.

School” - the “institution” founded and endowed in perpetuity pursuant to the Deed of Trust (and the first “institution” named in the Deed of Trust), named “The Hershey Industrial School” from November 15, 1909 until December 16, 1951 and as the “Milton Hershey School” from and after December 17, 1951, and designated as the “School” in the first recital of the Deed of Trust, “to be located in Derry Township,” which Joseph Gumpher refers to as the “charitable institution” in contrast with the Managers which he refers to as the “corporate fiduciary.”[55] The School is the Hersheys’ Children’s Home and includes, among other things, the “ideal community,” the Hersheys’ Children’s Home Campus (including Hershey, Pa.), Hershey Estates, the Hershey Chocolate Company and its successors and the school. 

school” - the residential, educational and other related facilities and employees that directly serve the Resident Beneficiaries and Non-Resident Beneficiaries, which comprise a major component of the School but are distinguished from the School. This distinction from the “School” is emphasized by the 1933 Deed Modification which added the provision, “No person employed by the school, in any capacity, in connection with which any compensation or expenses are directly or indirectly paid, shall at the same time serve as a member of the Managers of The Hershey Industrial School,” as Paragraph 29 of the Deed of Trust. When Paragraph 29 was added, the reference to “school” became the only provision of Milton Hershey’s Deed of Trust where the term “school” was not “School” as the institution was so designated in the Original Deed of Trust.  In both the 1933 Petition and the 1933 Decree, the parties requested, and the Court decreed, that “No person employed by the school, in any capacity, in connection with which any compensation or expenses are directly or indirectly paid, shall at the same time serve as a member of the Managers of The Hershey Industrial School.  In the 1933 Petition, reference was expressly made to the “School” when quoting the Original Deed of Trust.  However, in the same document, the relief sought refers to the “school.”  This pattern of distinction is likewise maintained in the 1933 Articles of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation, dated October 30, 1933, which arose solely as a result of the 1933 Decree. The following five points support the understanding that the “school” was viewed as a part of the Hersheys’ Children’s Home or the School, but not all of it:

  1. Managers worked for Hershey Estates during M.S.’s lifetime, which employed both employees of the school as well as employees of other Hershey Interests,
  2. Hershey Estates managed the overall operation of the Hershey’s Children’s Home,
  3. the language of the Deed of Trust expressly distinguishes between the “School” and the “school,”[56]
  4. the language of the Articles of Amendment clearly distinguished between the incorporated Managers, the School and the school, and
  5. during this period, John Snyder remained the primary legal counsel to all Hershey Interests and M.S.

Refer to Sections 3.4(d) and 3.4(e), and Appendix XXIII for detailed analysis of the “school” and the various documents that manifest the school’s separate existence within the “School.”
