Podvia —Carl Sandburg, Chicago The City of Chicago has had its more than its share of murder, mayhem and disaster. All of these happenings attracted national attention; a few resulted in regulations that have improved health and safety. This is a listing of some of the most well-known Chicago tragedies. You might want to visit some or all of these places during your time in Chicago. Several of these are located within walking distance of the AALL Annual Meeting. Some others can be reached via public transportation. Be aware that not all of these locations are open to the public. Federal Regulations Gone Awry: The Sinking of the SS Eastland Chicago Riverwalk between LaSalle and Clark Streets The SS Eastland, a popular Chicago-based excursion boat, was launched in 1902. Known for its speed, the vessel had a design flaw that made it top-heavy. The problem was worsened following the passage of the Federal Seamen's Act in 1915. The act, adopted is response to the RMS Titanic disaster, required the retrofitting of a complete set of lifeboats on the Eastland. The additional weight made the unstable ship even more dangerous.

Women have influenced religious, educational, and health care institutions; businesses; and activist and service organizations. With Hull-House as a reference point, the tour also highlights changes in the ethnic composition of the neighborhood—from Germans, Irish, and Bohemian groups being replaced by Eastern European Jews and Italians, followed by African Americans and Mexicans. Founded by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, in 1889, Hull-House was a social settlement whose residents sought to learn from and improve the living conditions of immigrants on the impoverished and crowded West Side. The settlement offered a wide array of services and classes. Residents, who paid room and board to live and do volunteer work at Hull-House, experimented with programs and joined others locally and nationally to promote social reforms through legislation and direct action. Although the Hull-House Association continues today, its heyday was the Progressive Era, which ended with World War I. The original Hull Mansion (1856) and the Residents’ Dining Hall (1907) are all that remain of the thirteen-building settlement complex along Halsted Street, Ewing, and Polk streets. They comprise the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, which is part of the University of Illinois at Chicago.
