Amy Gordon Hamilton (generally known simply as "Gordon Hamilton") (1892-1967) was an influential social work practitioner, educator, and writer, based for most of her career at the New York School of Social Work (now Columbia School of Social Work). She warmly inscribes the present volume in the year of publication, "To Stan | For whom the Recording Angel should hold no terrors - with love | Gordon Hamilton | December 1946." The identity of "Stan" is unknown, but the fine binding suggests the importance of the work and its author to the original owner.
