Biographical Text

Edward Thomas Devine was a professor of social economics who held positions at the New York School of Philanthropy and at Columbia University. From 1926-1928, Devine worked as a dean and professor at the American University. He was deeply involved with the New York Charity Organization Society, serving as the general secretary from 1896-1917, and editing its journal, Charities. The Society pioneered the training of specific social workers rather than volunteers to check on children of low-income families. Devine contributed an economic analysis to the practice of social work, claiming that most social ills were profitable to some segment of the population. Devine died in 1948.

Devine married Hattie Evelyn Scovill in 1899. The couple had two children, Thomas and Ruth.
