September 6, 1939 – The fiftieth anniversary of
Jane Addams’ founding of Hull House is celebrated as several thousand of the
men and women who came to the settlement house as children fill Grant Park for
a two-hour tribute to Addams who died four years before. The principal speaker is Judge Florence E.
Allen of the United States Court of Appeals who says, “And this should be her
memorial, not that we repeat her name, but that we write upon our hearts her
principles, that we carry them into concrete action. For this woman opened to American new paths
of spiritual life. She lived her faith
that all blessings must be made universal if they are to be made permanent.”
