Panel urges woman's
Hall of Fame election
A panel of three people told the weekly WomenSpeak meeting
Tuesday the story of a Nebraska woman who they said should be
elected to the Nebraska Hall of Fame.
The panel of Jean O'Hara, executive director of the governor s
commission on the status of women, Anne Patrick Trombley,
feminist senior law student, and Dr. Albert Schrekinger, retired
professor of social work, told a group of about 20 people why
Grace Abbott should be a member of the hall of fame.
The Nebraska hall of fame presently has nine members, none of
whom were born in Nebraska. According to Schrekinger, Grace
Abbott has been denied election to the hall of fame because she
left the state to do her work. The nomination of Grace Abbott was
placed before the board on March 19, 1974, and was voted do)im.
Schrekinger said the board should vote on including Abbott again
in the fall of this year.
Grace Abbott was born in Grand Island on November 17, 1879,
and died in Chicago in June 1939. Abbott attended the University
of Nebraska, the University of Chicago and the University of
Chicago law school. She is a member of the League of Women
voters Hall of Fame (the only Nebraskan who is a member of the
group) and a member of the Good Housekeeping Hall of Fame.
Children work
Abbott's work dealt with children and the administration of
children's programs. In 1917 Abbott was appointed the director of
the Child Labor Division of U.S. Childrens Bureau. She
administered the first child labor laws.
From 1921 to 1934 Abbott served as the chief of the U.S.
Childrens Bureau. During this time she was recognized as one of
the twelve outstanding women in the United States and received
backing for a cabinet post.
Currently an effort is being made by the National Association of
Social Workers to get Grace Abbott elected to the Nebraska Hall of
Fame. Schrekinger, who is heading the group, said they are
appealing to woman's groups across the state to write letters to the
Hall of Fame Commission.
Low profile
Schrekinger said the group is maintaining a low profile in
working toward Abbott's election. The commission took action
and waived its own rule, Schrekinger said, in electing poet John G.
Neihardt to the hall of fame in March of 1974. According to the
rule stated in the Nebraska Blue Book, "No person will be
considered for recognition until at least ten years after his or her
death."
Neihardt died in 1974 and was elected to the hall of fame that
year. Schrekinger said the election of Neihardt came at the time
the Hall of Fame Commission was acting on the Abbott
nomination.
Correction...
In Monday's Daily Nebraskan a Word was inadvertently omitted
from the story on Melvin George, dean of the UNL College of Arts
and Sciences. The second paragraph should have read "George said
he could not turn down the opportunity to be chief adviser for the
four-campus system at Missouri."
