ReplyDeleteInteresting! Here is a link to a previous blog that shows some of the earlier classes. The class of 1859 has an Ellen M. Abbe who indicated that she was employed by J. Adams of 2135 W Adams St, Chicago. Adams with one D. I didn't see Jane Addams herself as a graduate, at least not in those early classes, and it sounds as though she was already along in her profession by the time Ellen joined her, if J. Adams is indeed Jane Addams. http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7470217109659177851#editor/target=post;postID=7622394648000159925
