Acquisition InformationGift of the Edward W. Scripps Trust, Cincinnati, Ohio and Margaret Scripps Buzzelli in 1981 and 1992.Processing HistoryPreliminary arrangement by library staff. Processed by History Associates Incorporated, 2002.BiographyEllen Browning Scripps, educator, publisher, and philanthropist, was born on October 18, 1836. Her middle name"Browning" commemorates the minister who converted her grandmother and baptized her mother. Ellen lived with herparents on 13 South Molton Street in St. George Parish, London, until the death of her mother in 1841. She was then placedin a boarding school for three years.Ellen was exposed to books and publishing at an early age as her grandfather, William Armiger Scripps, was anaccomplished publisher in London and her father, James Mogg Scripps (1803-1873), was a successful bookbinder.Her father was married three times and fathered a total of thirteen children. His first marriage was to Elizabeth Sabey(1805-1831) in 1829. They had two children, William Sabey Scripps (1829-1831) and Elizabeth M. Scripps (1831-1914).James Mogg's second marriage was to Ellen's mother, Ellen Mary Saunders (1804-1841) in 1833. They had six children,Ellen Sophia Scripps (1833-1834), James E. Scripps (1835-1906), Ellen B. Scripps (1836-1932), William Armiger Scripps(1838-1914), George H. Scripps (1839-1900), and John Mogg Scripps (1840-1863). His third marriage was to Julia AdelineOsborn (1814-1893) in 1844. They had five children, Julia A. Scripps (1847-1898), Thomas O. Scripps (1848-1853),Frederick T. Scripps (1850-1936), Eliza Virginia Scripps (1852-1921), and Edward Wyllis Scripps (1854-1920).In 1844, three years after the death of Ellen's mother, her father moved her and her five siblings to the United States. Theyset sail on a 44-day voyage on the Francis Burr. Upon arriving in America, the family settled in Rushville, Illinois, whereseveral of Ellen's family members had already settled. Ellen's father commented to her grandfather regarding his decisionto emigrate to America that "it was on the children's account that I came, believing that I could do nothing for them inEngland. They will no doubt do well here."According to Edward Wyllis Scripps (E.W.), the family had a life in Rushville "not far removed from a pioneer farmer. All ofthe children were required to contribute their labor to the family's support. There were no servants. My mother was thehead of the household." Since there were no public schools in Rushville in the 1840s and 1850s, Ellen attended seminaryand a private school. She then attended Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois from 1856-1859 where she graduated withhonors in mathematics. She was the first female graduate of Knox College. According to E.W., Ellen was the only one ofJames Mogg's thirteen children who obtained a college education. After graduating from Knox College, Ellen taught forapproximately seven years in public and private schools in Hamilton, Augusta, and Rushville, Illinois.Ellen Browning Scripps also taught many of her siblings and took a special interest in the education of E.W., her youngesthalf-sibling. According to J.C. Harper, "very early in his life his half-sister Ellen assumed a peculiarly close and intimateoversight of E.W., more like a mother. She had faith in him. She believed that he was a genius in many ways. She saw to hiseducation, awakened his interest in books..." In E.W.'s biography of Ellen, he recalls "my childhood memory of Ellen ismainly made up of a neatly dressed, almost finickily cleanly young woman with a book in her hand. She was either teachingme spelling, the primmer [sic], or reading to me stories, or talking to me explaining to me things that were read about orthings around us. I remember her reading to the family circle around the hearth, night after night, for endless time."Ellen left Illinois in 1866 to be a proofreader at her brother James's newspaper office in Detroit. After two years in Detroit,she returned to Rushville to care for her ailing father until his death in 1873. While in Rushville, she also continuedteaching. She lived frugally her entire working life and saved as much money as possible in order to help support familymembers. In 1873 she traveled back to Detroit where she joined her brother James who was establishing the "DetroitNews." She invested her savings in the project and resumed her job as a proofreader.In addition to proofreading, Ellen also prepared a column entitled Miscellany for the Detroit "Evening News." Miscellanyconsisted of short feature stories that she compiled each evening after a full day of proofreading. The column provedespecially useful on days when there was little other news to report. E.W. developed Ellen's idea of a daily feature columninto the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA) Service, Inc. which supplied daily features to many newspapers. Today theNEA, Inc., a Scripps-Howard company, provides hundreds of electronic and print publishers with highly acclaimed politicalcommentary and a selection of graphics and illustrations through their daily service.In 1881, Ellen took a leave of absence from the paper and traveled abroad with E.W. During her absence, Miscellany wasreplaced by correspondence she wrote from foreign lands. Due to the publication of her travel letters, Ellen BrowningScripps is sometimes referred to as one of journalism's first foreign correspondents.In 1878, Ellen became a partner with E.W. in founding the Cleveland Press. In later years she invested in most of his publishing enterprises including the Cincinnati Post and other newspapers of the growing Scripps League. She moved to

Southern California with E.W. and his family in 1890, settling on a ranch at Miramar. In 1897 she retired from thenewspaper business and built her first home in La Jolla.As the Scripps League of papers grew, so did Ellen Browning Scripps's earnings. In 1900, she also received a considerablelegacy from her brother, George H. Scripps. She was able to accumulate much wealth due in part to having never marriedand to her modest lifestyle. As she stated in a newspaper article regarding her house fire of 1915, "one of the papers spokeof my thousands of dollars of jewelry being lost in the fire. All the jewelry that I ever possessed would not sell for $20." Sheviewed her fortune as "a trust for the benefit of humanity" and not for her own indulgence.E.W. said of his sister's wealth, "As I review the whole of Ellen's business career, it had been from start to finish motivatedby a desire, on her part, to serve others. And yet with all this, she has prospered in a material way, and to such an extent,that there are probably not a thousand other people, men or women, in this country, who with all their striving, all theirambition, and selfish aims, have succeeded in accumulating a larger fortune."Long before Ellen Browning Scripps accumulated her wealth, she regularly contributed time and what money she could tocharities. As E.W. recalled, "all of my childhood memories of Ellen were of seeing her actively employed in some service -almost invariably entirely unselfish services. As I now make a rapid memory sweep o'er her whole life, it seems to me thatshe has persistently continued in this same course."For the most part, Ellen Browning Scripps distributed her wealth in order to create opportunities for many people ratherthan to individuals for their personal use. Her philanthropies include the establishment of Scripps College; theestablishment of Scripps Institution of Oceanography with her brother E.W.; the establishment of Scripps Memorial Hospital;the establishment of Scripps Clinic (which was the second such facility in the United States); the establishment of TorreyPines State Park; the establishment of the Bishop's School and James-by-the-Sea Church with her sister Virginia; and theestablishment of the first public playground in the United States which she deeded to the city of San Diego. She alsocontributed to Pomona College, Knox College, Cleveland College, the San Diego Natural History Museum, the San DiegoZoo, various public libraries, the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), the Young Men's Christian Association(YMCA), churches of various denominations, the La Jolla Children's Pool, and the San Diego Woman's Club. She was alsoknown as an early supporter and leader of the woman suffrage movement.In August 1932, Ellen Browning Scripps died of lung congestion that was attributed to advanced age. In accordance withher wishes, there was no public funeral, only private cremation services. Her ashes were scattered on the Pacific Oceannear her La Jolla home and according to her obituary, "she wished no other monument than the scores of humanitarian andeducational works which her generosity created."1836 Born in London, England, on October 18.1844 Family moved from London and settled in Rushville, Illinois.1854 Graduated from high school.1856-1859 Attended Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois.1859 Graduated from Knox College with honors with degree in mathematics.1861-1866 Taught school in Hamilton, Augusta, and Rushville, Illinois.1864 Received her first grade teaching certificate.1866-1868 Proofreader at her brother James's newspaper office in Detroit.1868 Returned to Rushville to care for her ailing father.1873 Departed Rushville after the death of her father to join brothers James and E.W. at the Detroit News.
