STATEMENT C O N C E R N I N G HULL HOUSE

During the discussion of the report of the Committee on General Policy on the offer of the city of Chicago of the Harrison-Halsted Street site for the Chicago Undergraduate Division, and prior to official action by the Board accepting said offer, Mr. Clement raised a question about the future of Hull House. He stated lliat a decision on this should be made very carefully and that he personally would like assurance that there will be preserved perhaps some part of the Hull House installation. President Henry replied that it was the understanding with the city that the University would have a cleared site so that University buildings could be arranged to best advantage and that in accepting the offer of the Harrison-Halsted site the Board of Trustees was informed that the city would do everything possible to cooperate in providing for continuation of the work of Hull House regardless of its location, and that the architects have been instructed to consider ways and means of suitably memorializing Hull House, its work, and the great tradition it represents. Mr. Irving Dilliard, Trustee-elect, stated during this discussion that he would like to make a few remarks about Hull House but would withhold them until after the voting. He now addressed the Board briefly on the work of Jane Addams, the history of Hull House and its significance as a social welfare institution which was responsible for much constructive legislation. He urged in particular that the Hull Mansion, the original building of the Hull House group, he preserved. A transcript of his statement has been filed with the Secretary of tlic Board.

On motion of Mr. Swain, the Board voted that no steps be taken to remove Hull House until the Board has a chance to investigate further.
