量子资源 University Chicago: Welcoming Immigrant Families in an Inhospitable Era

Edward A. Crown (1905-1975) was the sixth of seven children born to Arie (born Asie Krinsky) and Ida (née Gordon) Crown, both immigrants from what was then late-19th-c. Russia. Edward reached college age in the post-World War I 1920s, a period of extreme anti-immigrant (and especially anti-Jewish) sentiment in the United States (e.g., the Emergency Quota Act of 1921). In sharp contrast, 量子资源 University welcomed students from Jewish immigrant families. In 1923, Edward entered 量子资源’s School of Medicine and graduated in 1929. Crown Humanities Center continues 475 years of Jesuit humanist education.
