Extractions: Emily Greene Balch (January 8, 1867-January 9, 1961) was born in Boston, the daughter of Francis V. and Ellen (Noyes) Balch. Hers was a prosperous family, her father being a successful lawyer, at one time secretary to United States Senator Charles Sumner. She went to private schools as a young girl; was graduated from Bryn Mawr College Public Assistance of the Poor in France , published in 1893; completed her formal studies with scattered courses at Harvard and the University of Chicago and with a full year of work in economics in 1895-1896 in Berlin. In 1896 she joined the faculty of Wellesley College , rising to the rank of professor of economics and sociology in 1913. An outstanding teacher, she impressed students by the clarity of her thought, by the breadth of her experience, by her compassion for the underprivileged, by her strong-mindedness, and by her insistence that students could formulate independent judgments only if they combined on-the-spot investigation with their research in the library. During these years she was a member of two municipal boards (one on children and one on urban planning) and of two state commissions (one on industrial education, the other on immigration); she participated in movements for women's suffrage, for racial justice, for control of child labor, for better wages and conditions of labor; she contributed to knowledge with her research, notably

Extractions: Nobel Lecture , April 7, 1948 It is natural to try to understand one's own time and to seek to analyse the forces that move it. The future will be determined in part by happenings that it is impossible to foresee; it will also be influenced by trends that are now existent and observable. We speculate as to what is in store for us. But we not only undergo events, we in part cause them or at least influence their course. We have not only to study them but to act. Especially is this true as regards peace in the future. The question whether the long effort to put an end to war can succeed without another major convulsion challenges not only our minds but our sense of responsibility. As to judging our own time, and thereby gaining some basis for a judgment of future possibilities, we are doubtless not only too close to it to appraise it but too much formed by it and enclosed within it to do so. Nevertheless, while we wait for the future social historian, we can make some provisional observations. I. Characteristics of the Present Period

Extractions: THE FIRST QUAKER NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER By Irwin Abrams This essay appeared in the December 1996 issue of Friends Journal As Friends begin to think about how to commemorate in 1997 the 50th anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize that was shared by the AFSC and the British Friends Service Council in 1947, it is well to be reminded that 1996 is the 50th anniversary of the prize which the Quaker Emily Greene Balch, the leader of the Womens's International League for Peace and Freedom, shared with John Mott of the YMCA in 1946. She was only the third woman to win the prize, after Baroness Bertha von Suttner in 1901 and Jane Addams in 1931. Emily Balch (1867-1961), raised as a Unitarian, joined Friends in 1920 when she was in Geneva establishing the international headquarters of the WILPF. She applied to London Yearly Meeting, preferring to avoid the divisions of American Quakerism. What attracted her to Friends was not only "their testimony against war, their creedless faith, nor their openness to suggestions for far-reaching social reform," It was "the dynamic force of the active love through which their religion was expressing itself in multifarious ways, both during and after the war." When she returned to live in Wellesley in her last years, she transferred her membership to Cambridge (Massachusetts) Meeting. In 1915 Emily Balch was already a distinguished social scientist when she joined Jane Addams and the intrepid international band of women who vainly attempted to stop World War I by persuading statesmen of both neutral and belligerent states to agree to a mediation process.. She then tried to prevent American intervention in the conflict and continued her opposition after the United States entered the war. This brought about her dismissal from Wellesley College, ending a teaching career of twenty years. She continued to work for peace for the rest of her life, both through WILPF and individually, She was granted the Nobel prize as the acknowledged dean and intellectual leader of the United States peace movement.

Extractions: by Heather Miller, Writer and Editor Balch at Bryn Mawr: "It was not an apple but a book that did the mischief" Emily Greene Balch, a member of the first generation of American women to attend college in significant numbers, had three ground-breaking careers: social reform, the teaching of economics at Wellesley College, and international political activity. O f Old New England stock, she would devote her life's work to the coming of "an age in which the unlikeness of other races will be conceived as much of an asset as the unlikeness of wind and string instruments in a symphony." Born in 1867 to a prosperous family of liberal Unitarian persuasion, Balch grew up in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts with a belief in dynamic good will, hard work, and hope as a discipline as well as a theological virtue. She recalled late in life: "When I was about ten, a prosy old Unitarian divine was followed at the Unitarian Church by Charles Fletcher Dole. His warm faith in the force that makes for righteousness became the chief of all the influences that played upon my life. He asked us to enlist in the service of goodness whatever its cost. In accepting this pledge, I never abandoned in any degree my desire to live up to it."

Extractions: Contents: March/April 2002 Emily Greene Balch was born to a prosperous Unitarian family in 1867. She grew up in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, where her Unitarian minister, the Rev. Charles Fletcher Dole, profoundly influenced her. "His warm faith in the force that makes for righteousness became the chief of all the influences that played upon my life," she wrote. "He asked us to enlist in the service of goodness whatever its cost. In accepting this pledge, I never abandoned in any degree my desire to live up to it." She was a member of Bryn Mawr's first graduating class in 1889, and joined the emerging female social reform movement in Boston. She helped found a settlement house for immigrants in 1892 and began a lifelong friendship and working relationship with Jane Addams, who had founded Hull House in Chicago in 1889. After graduate studies, Balch began teaching economics at Wellesley College in 1900. Her research into the conditions of Slavs in Austria-Hungary and in U.S. immigrant neighborhoods resulted in her major work, Our Slavic Fellow Citizens (1910), which countered widespread anti-immigrant views in the U.S. She was chair of Wellesley's Department of Economics and Sociology when college trustees voted not to renew her contract in 1918 due to her peace work during World War I.
