On verso: "Shares Noble Peace Award for 1931: Chicago, Ill. Jane Adams, founder of Hull House, Chicago, will share the Noble Prize Peace Award for 1931 with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, New York. Announcement of the award, worth roughly about $40,000, was made at Oslo, Sweden, today at a meeting of the Noble Institute. The Noble Committee declared that these two individuals had done more than any others to advance the cause of World peace. It is interesting to know that the U.S. has received this award more than any other country; Photo shows a recent picture of Miss Addams at her desk in the Hull House."
