The Graduate School of Social Service Administration was founded in 1920, continuing the work of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy under the auspices of the University of Chicago. As one of the University's professional schools, SSA offers master's and doctoral degrees preparing students for leadership in fields of social work. Having originated in the settlement movement, SSA stressed public welfare and social insurance in its curriculum. By the 1960s SSA had become a model for innovative social work education with a national influence on social policy. The bulk of the photographs in this collection were taken during the dynamic tenures of Deans Alton Linford (1956-1969) and Harold Richman (1969-1978). This period saw increased enrollment, involvement in national social initiatives, and the construction of a new building designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
