Leonhard Felix Fuld: education

[edit]

Leonhard Fuld was born in Manhattan in 1883.

Growing up, Leonhard attended Public School 57 (on 115th Street, near Lexington). Leonhard completed the 8th grade at Public School 83 in June 1897. For high school, Leonhard graduated from the Horace Mann School June 4, 1901.[i]

In higher education, he studied at Columbia University from about 1902 to 1909, earning five degrees: (i) a Bachelor of Arts as a Phi Beta Kappa in 1903 (completing his studies in just 1 year), (ii) a Master of Arts in 1904, (iii) a Bachelor of Laws in 1905, (iv) a Master of Laws in 1906, and (v) a PhD in Sociology and Political Economy (dissertation: "Police Administration," 1,100 pages) in 1909.[3][4]

He went on to become an editor, an Examiner New York State Civil Service Commission and police security analyst, but his lifelong passion was public health and sanitation.

For many years he was an instructor in economics and business administration at the Bernard M. Baruch School of Business Administration of the City College of New York.

For much of Leonhard's life, he lived with his sister in Manhattan in a tenement, characterized as a slum, at 130 East 110th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues. He lived much of his life as a recluse. A notice in 1911 in the New York Times indicated that a $30,000 renovation would be performed for Leonhard F. Fuld by Horenburger & Bardes, architects (Hermann A.A. Horenburger; 1884–1941). Charles Bradford Meyers (1875–1958) was the architect for the 1934 expansion of the Hospital for Joint Diseases.

Florentine M. Fuld

[edit]

Florentine M. Fuld was born in Manhattan in 1878. She had been a primary school teacher. Florentine Fuld died in 1956 of malnutrition at the Hospital for Joint Diseases, to which her brother had given money. Before she died, she said that she had not left her house in 9 years.

Leonhard Fuld died in 1965 at the Helene Fuld Hospital in Trenton, now known as the Capital Health Regional Medical Center.[ii][ii]

Police science

[edit]

Leonhard Fuld is credited as being the first to publish a doctoral dissertation in the field of police administration. The dissertation was published commercially in 1910 as "Police Administration." Among other things, the dissertation:

  • found that organizational failure and ineffectiveness were the result of poor administration
  • critical of non-professional heads of police departments
  • provided a basis for "command and control" style of administration[3]

The dissertation introduced concepts of organizational theory to law enforcement, namely police administration. The paper was intended for police executives and, inferences from it, and also from published works by August Vollmer and Orlando W. Wilson, altered the path of American law enforcement in the first half of the 20th century by, among other things, changing the traditional model to one of community policing.[5]

Investment management educator

[edit]

After writing a 12-chapter book from 1920 to 1921 for correspondence students called The Principles of Securities Salesmanship, Fuld, in 1922, began teaching the subject at the Kendall School of Salesmanship in Manhattan in the Buckley-Newhall building at the SWC of Sixth Avenue and 41st Street. The school was founded in Saint Louis in 1916 by Harry Taylor Kendall (1882–1952), a timber company executive.

Incorporated in New York around 1905 as the Buckley, Newhall Company.

Note: The Buckley-Newhall building, (709 6th Avenue) ... (actually 4 Bryant Park), opened fall 1920. It was 12 stories. The architect was Snook & Sons.

Helene Fuld Health Trust

[edit]

The Helene Fuld Health Trust, according its literature in 1999, is the nation's largest private foundation devoted exclusively to supporting student nurses and nursing education. The story of the Helene Fuld Health Trust has three parts: (i) the Estate of Helene Fuld, who died in 1923, (ii) the Helene Fuld Health Foundation, which ran from 1935 to 1969, and (iii) the creation of the Helene Fuld Health Trust in 1969.

Estate

[edit]

Helene Fuld, through probate proceedings following her death in 1923 (i.e., under the auspices of the Estate of Helene Fuld, Deceased), devised $91,718 to her two children. Her husband (and father of her two children), Bernhard Fuld (1843–1918), had already died. Her children, Leonhard Felix Fuld (1883–1965) and Florentine M. Fuld (1878–1956), as devisees under her estate, shared the inheritance equally.

Foundation

[edit]

In 1935, Leonhard Felix Fuld, LLM, PhD,[6] and Florentine M. Fuld established the Helene Fuld Health Foundation, each contributing $5,000 in honor of their mother, Helene Fuld (née Helene Schwab; 1858–1923).

The Helene Fuld Health Foundation assets grew – from $4.8 million in 1952 to more than $35 million in 1965. In 1961, Fuld — desirous that the foundation continue after his death or incapacity — structured a succession plan that would eventually transfer the assets to a charitable trust named the Helene Fuld Health Trust.

Charitable trust

[edit]

Leonhard Fuld died in 1965. Four years later, in 1969, the Foundation was dissolved according to Fuld's instructions, and the foundation assets – around $25 million – were transferred into the newly created Helene Fuld Health Trust, managed by Marine Midland Bank, based in Buffalo, who had been designated as the sole trustee. Marine Midland, was acquired by HSBC Bank USA in 1980 and changed its name to HSBC Bank USA in 1999.[7]

Beneficiaries

[edit]

The foundation, from 1935 to 1969 had, and the trust, since 1969 has provided grants, scholarships, and financial aid for the education, health, and welfare of student nurses.[iii] The Helene Fuld College of Nursing has been a beneficiary of the Foundation and Trust since 1955, primarily from grants for (a) scholarships, (b) building renovations, and (c) equipment.

There are many institutional beneficiaries, nationwide, of the Helene Fuld Health Trust. Yet, most of the original assets succeeding from (i) Helene Fuld's estate, (ii) Leonhard and Florentine Fuld's private foundation, and (iii) the charitable trust established by Leonhard Fuld were drawn from real estate in Harlem that was originally owned by Helene Fuld – property that was located only a few blocks from the Helene Fuld College of Nursing.
