Chicago Committee of Fifteen, 1911-1925

We constructed this table as a preliminary step in documenting ties between the Illinois Vigilance Association,  Vice Commission of the City of Chicago, Chicago's Committee of Fifteen and University of Chicago Trustees, the Rockefeller Foundation, the American Social Hygiene Association, and the federal Council for National Defense and its Advisory Commission, especially the War Training Camp Activities Commission and the General Medical Board and its committees on Hygiene and Sanitation and Civilian Cooperation

We apologize for the spottiness of the information. The table was built up from the Committee's Annual Reports, only a small handful of which have survived. We will continue to search for the outstanding years.

Names that appear in italic also appeared in Clifford Roe's first report to his backers.

Names in bold served on the Vice Commission of the City of Chicago.
