Biographical Sketch of Fred Kenneth Hoehler (1893-1969)

Fred K. Hoehler was active, both nationally and internationally, in social welfare and public administration for nearly forty years. Born June 6, 1893 in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, he graduated from Pennsylvania State College in 1915 with a B.S. in forestry. Shifting his interests rather quickly from conservation of natural resources to, as he frequently phrased it, the conservation of human resources, Hoehler served as the executive secretary of the University of Cincinnati YMCA from 1916 to 1917 and 1919 to 1921 while attending graduate school.

The major course of Hoehler's career is suggested by the following list of positions in which he was employed. [This information is taken from the 1963-1964 Who's Who in the Midwest .]

1921-1924	Assistant Director, Berry Schools, Rome, Georgia
1927-1933	Director, Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Welfare
1933-1935	Director, Cincinnati Department of Safety
1936-1943	Director, American Public Welfare Association
1941-1942	Executive Director, Joint Army and Navy Committee on Welfare and Recreation
1943	Director, Office of Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation Operations, North Africa, and Europe
1944-1945	Director, Division of Displaced Persons, United National Relief and Rehabilitation Administration
1946-1949	Executive Director, Community Fund of Chicago
1949-1953	Director, Illinois Department of Public Welfare
1953-1954	Executive Director, Citizens of Greater Chicago
1954-1957	Consultant, New World Foundation
1955-1964	Consultant to the Mayor, City of Chicago

As this outline indicates, Hoehler was based in Illinois--primarily in Chicago--for nearly twenty years. During much of this time, he worked closely with Adlai Stevenson and Richard J. Daley.

Throughout his career, Hoehler was affiliated with many professional, government, and civic organizations in the areas of social welfare, public administration, mental health, public education, employment security, and international relations. He was president of the National Conference of Social Work (1943) and the American Public Welfare Association (1932-1935 and 1951-1952) and vice president of the International Conference of Social Work (1948-1956). For many years he served on the Federal Advisory Council of the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Employment Security. In addition, Hoehler was active in various capacities in the American Society for Public Administration, the American Association for the United Nations, CARE, the National Citizens Commission for Public Schools, the National Citizens Council for Better Schools, the Illinois Society for Mental Health, Adult Education of Greater Chicago, and numerous other organizations.

Hoehler was the author of Europe's Homeless Millions and numerous articles and also coauthored Persistent International Issues.

In October 1917 Hoehler married Dorothy S. Stevens. They had two children, Caroline (Mrs. James B. Kirkpatrick) and Fred Kenneth. Hoehler died January 18, 1969.

Collection Scope and Content Note

The Fred K Hoehler papers reflect Hoehler's work with the American Public Welfare Association (APWA) and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. They also describe his work with the Chicago Community Fund, the Citizens of Greater Chicago, the International Conference of Social Work, the National Citizens Council for Public Schools, the New World Foundation, mental health associations, and a variety of federal advisory committees. The papers contain extensive correspondence with Adlai Stevenson and Richard J. Daley, with whom Hoehler worked closely, and with many prominent national welfare leaders.

The Hoehler papers document numerous topics including: adult education; aging and senior services; child welfare; displaced persons; education and schools; international aid, foreign affairs, and the United Nations; health care and mental health; race relations; social work and social service agencies and programs; and urban planning, though this list is by no means suggestive of the full range of subjects covered in the papers. The records are also a good source for documenting politics and civic affairs in Chicago during the 1950s.

Although the inclusive dates for the papers are 1917 to1965, there is very little material predating the late 1920s.

Separated Material

Photographs of Hoehler, United National Relief and Rehabilitation Administration staff, and displaced persons. There was also a large group of photographs that are unidentified but which may be related to Hoehler's work in Cincinnati during the Great Depression. Scenes such as food lines, temporary public sleeping quarters, and wood chopping are found in this latter group. The photographs have been removed from the Hoehler papers and placed in the Archives' photograph file. (Some pictures of Hoehler, duplicates of those in the file, are included in Section IV of the Hoehler collection.)

Ephemera. The publications--pamphlets, journals, articles, etc.--found in the Hoehler papers have been removed from the collection and incorporated in the Archives' ephemera file. Dealing with such matters as social welfare, public administration, mental health, public education, international relations, and employment security, this material is useful independent of the Hoehler collection as well as in conjunction with it. Portions of this ephemeral material were donated to the Chicago Historical Society in 2006.
