a. the political views of Jane Addams had come to be seen as too radical for the men of the Chicago School.
b. the men of the Chicago School had come to regard advocacy for progressive social change as a threat to their claims for scientific legitimacy.
c. As a settlement, Hull House provided a place for social activism, but Jane Addams and the women living there did not produce any writings or research.
d. the men had come to characterize her work at Hull House as sentimental and atheoretical.
