    That’s William Penn, performing the “livery of seisin” upon first setting foot in the New World in New Castle on the Delaware, before heading upriver to his namesake territory. The statue stands between 2nd and Market Streets, in the space where the New Castle market was held.

    William Penn had a cool hat.

    That’s not a Delaware photo. It’s the statue at Faber College. If you zoom in on the plaque beneath the statue of Mr. Faber you will see the logo: “Knowledge is good.”

    And what was the nickname of the athletic teams at Faber College? Hint: It’s related to “Faber.”
