November 12 Theodore Richards Wins Nobel Prize Theodore William Richards was the first American scientist to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, earning the award “in recognition of his exact determinations of the atomic weights of a large number of the chemical elements.”

November The Settlement Cook Book with Liberty Supplement 1915 Founded around the turn of the twentieth century in Milwaukee, “The Settlement” was a community center for immigrant girls that aimed to help them adjust to their new land. The girls— mostly Jewish and Italian, but other nationalities as well—were taught English and gained useful skills like sewing, darning, and cooking. The Settlement’s Jewish founder and cooking teacher, Lizzie (Mrs. Simon) Kander, published a cookbook in 1901 to support the Settlement. The 1915 edition is notable for its “Liberty supplement”—a selection of recipes intended to help cooks deal with expected shortages when the United States entered the First World War.
