Biography/History
Former mayor Emil Seidel introduced a resolution to the Common Council of the City of
Milwaukee which would allow the creation of a committee to make a survey of the lack
of opportunity for school, college and university graduates to find employment and
to seek a remedy for the situation. Resolution number 56242 was presented to the
Common Council, adopted June 24, 1935 and approved by Mayor Daniel W. Hoan on June
25, 1935. The Resolution allowed the Mayor to appoint a committee of 100 citizens
from varying professions who were willing to give of their time to help find a
solution to this problem. The Committee was organized into 11 individual committees:
Administration; Research and Fact Finding; Guidance and Life Advisement; Education;
Proper Use of Leisure Time; Cultural Education; Limited Employability; Education for
Public Service; Current Employment; Delinquency; and Coordination and Cooperation of
Youth Organizations. The Committee worked in conjunction with the National Youth
Administration of Wisconsin. The Committee disbanded in 1937; however, the National
Youth Administration continued to exist under various Federal agencies until it was
dissolved in 1943.
