- Q8019603 abstract "William Tyler Page (1868 – October 19, 1942), was best known for his authorship of the American's Creed. He was born at 111 Record Street, in downtown Frederick, Maryland, in Frederick County, and was a descendant as the great great grandson of Carter Braxton, (1736-1797), member of the House of Burgesses of the Province of Virginia, and a signer representing further south across the Potomac River in Virginia of the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776. Page also descends from the tenth President John Tyler (1790-1862), who served 1841-1845, finishing the term of William Henry Harrison who died shortly after his inauguration (also later served in the Congress of the Confederate States). In 1881, at the age of 13, Page travelled to the National Capital, Washington D.C., to serve as a page in the U.S. Capitol, thus beginning a 61-year-long career as a national public servant.In 1917, at age 49, Page wrote the "American's Creed" as a submission to a nationwide patriotic contest suggested by Henry Sterling Chapin of New York, inspired by a fervor at the beginning of the American entry into the First World War, the goal of which was to have a concise but complete statement of American political faith. Inspired by the thoughts on his way home from church in May 1917, having just recited the Apostles Creed, used in most Christian churches for two thousand years as a statement of belief, Page drew on a wide variety of historical documents and speeches, including the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, President Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address", a speech made by U.S. Senator and orator, Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, plus text from Edward Everett Hale's patriotic short story from 1863 of a military officer condemned to exile, "The Man Without a Country" and various others, and proceeded to craft a simple yet profoundly moving expression of American patriotism.His submission was chosen in March 1918 above more than 3,000 other entries. On April 3, 1918 it was accepted by the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the U.S. Commissioner of Education (then part of the U.S. Department of the Interior) on behalf of the American people (according to the "Congressional Record", No. 102, April 13, 1918). A prize of $1,000 was also awarded by Mayor James H. Preston on behalf of the City of Baltimore in Maryland, the birthplace of the National Anthem, which Mr. Page used to purchase Liberty Bonds for the war effort and donated them to his church. Today it also often comprises part of the Naturalization Ceremony when swearing-in new American citizens, along with other patriotic symbols such as the "Pledge of Allegiance" to the American flag, and the singing of various songs and anthems.In addition, to remember Page, there is a William Tyler Page Elementary School named for him in the Montgomery County Public Schools of Montgomery County in Silver Spring, Maryland, just north across the border of the District of Columbia from Washington.".
