Abstract
The authors trace the development of the settlement house movement through the history of the nation's oldest settlement—New York City's University Settlement—from its beginnings in the 1880's as an attempt to deal with the new poor created by the Industrial Revolution, through the era of its recreational emphasis, to its current place in the War on Poverty. The authors feel there is a clear need for the settlement to serve as an adult-centered agency, concerning itself programmatically with adult needs and problems.
