Elks National Manorial Building
The Elks National Memorial Building at Chicago was origin
ally erected by the Order and dedicated in July, 1926, as a
memorial to the Elks who served in World War I, and particu
larly to those who made the supreme sacrifice in that conflict.
In September, 1946, it was rededicated to include not only those
whose members of the Elks Order who served in World War I,
and especially those who in that great conflict made the supreme
sacrifice in the defense of their country, but also all those mem
bers of the Order who served in World War II, and especially
those who gave their lives in that great conflict.
Every member of the Order contributed equally to the
original cost of erection, furnishing, dedication and rededication
of this Memorial Building. It is said by many well-informed
persons to be one of the finest memorial buildings, if not the
finest building, of that character in the entire world.

tered upon a new venture in the
field of humanitarian service to
bring hope and opportunity for
a happy, useful life to the thou
sands of little children and oth

propriated at the outset to train
doctors, therapists, nurses and
technicians in the treatment of
cerebral palsy.
