BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH top
Jacob Billikopf was born in Vilna, Russia, in 1883, to Louis and Glika (Katzenelenbogen) Billikopf. He emigrated to the United Statesin 1896, where he lived in Richmond, Virginia with an older sister, Rebecca Billikopf Tatarsky.

Upon his arrival in the United States, Billikopf spoke no English. He began his schooling at age 13 when he entered had completed the eighth grade. He attended Richmond College and then transfered to the University of Chicago where he earned a Bachelor of Philanthropy degree (Ph.B.) in 1903.

After graduation from the University of Chicago, his first position was Head Resident of the Jewish Settlement in Cincinnati. From there, his charitable work in the Mid-West continued in Milwaukee, where he was in charge of the Neighborhood House, the Hebrew Relief Association, and the United Jewish Charities, from 1905 to 1907. He then served in Kansas City, where he was vice-president of the Kansas City Board of Pardons and Paroles, a member of the Kansas City Board of Public Welfare, and Superintendent of the United Jewish Charities, in 1907. He was president of the Missouri State Conference of Charities, in 1911-1912.

As Billikopf's prestige increased, he was called upon to head a number of national organizations. He served as president of the National Conference of Jewish Social Workers and of the National Conference of Jewish Social Service. He served as director of the campaign to raise $25,000,000 for Jewish war sufferers during World War I and in 1918 he directed the National Coordinating Committee for Aid to Refugees and Emigrants.

After the War, his involvement in the well-being of the needy increased. He was made executive director of the Federation of Jewish Charities of Philadelphia in 1919. He also participated in the investigations of conditions in Russia and Eastern Europe for the United Jewish Campaign.

Billikopf's role in the area of labor relations is best illustrated by his participation as impartial chairman of an arbitration board in the men's clothing industry in New York City and of the ladies garment industry in Philadelphia. In the 1930's, he was appointed impartial chairman of the Federal Regional Labor Board.

Other groups with which he was involved included the American Association for Old Age Security (vice-president), the Committee of One Hundred for Unemployment Relief (chairman), Howard University (treasurer), and (Chairman of the Executive Board), and the advisory committee of the New School of Social Research. After World War II, Billikopf chaired one of the War Department's special clemency boards, reviewing 35,000 sentences meted out by the Army in general court-martial cases.

Jacob Billikopf was a contributor to The Nation and The Survey. He established the Jacob Billikopf Foundation at the University of Richmond, which conferred upon him an honorary LL.D in 1928.

Dr. Billikopf married Ruth Marshall Billikopf in 1920. She died in 1936 at the age of 38. They had two children, David M. Billikopf and Mrs. Florence Schweitzer. In 1942, he married Esther B. Freeman. After a long illness, Jacob Billikopf died in 1950 at the age of 67.
