- College_Equal_Suffrage_League abstract "The College Equal Suffrage League was an American women’s suffrage organization founded in 1900 by Maud Wood Park and Inez Haynes Irwin (nee Gillmore), as a way to attract younger women to the larger suffrage movement. The league spurred the creation of other college leagues around the country and influenced the actions of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).The beginning of the College Equal Suffrage League dates from the 1900 NAWSA convention in Washington, D.C. Maud Wood Park, a 29 year-old attendee and recent Radcliffe College alum, realized that she was the youngest delegate at the convention. Concerned by the absence of a younger member’s group in NAWSA and the general lack of interest in suffrage among college women, Park decided to recruit more young women to the suffrage cause.Park would later reflect on this decision:"After hearing Miss Anthony speak I came to realize what her life had been, the heroism of her service not for herself but for the sex, and so for the whole human race. When I felt that, clearly I felt the obligation of service for the cause for which Miss Anthony and her noble associates had sacrificed so much and I promised myself then that I would try to make more women see these things as I have seen them. College women should realize their debt to the pioneers who have made our education and competence possible. They should be made to feel the obligation of their opportunities and to understand that one of the ways to pay that debt is to fight the battle for suffrage now in the quarter of the field in which it is still unwon."Together with Inez Haynes Irwin, another Radcliffe graduate and suffrage supporter, Park formed the Massachusetts College Equal Suffrage Association in Boston. Park toured colleges around the United States, talking to recent college alumnae in hopes that they would then encourage younger college and high school students to join the suffrage movement. Park’s tours eventually sparked the formation of new chapters in 30 states.In 1906, inspired by the College Equal Suffrage Association’s efforts and as a way to increase their public presence, NAWSA began actively recruiting college students by sponsoring “College Evenings” at their larger suffrage events.In 1908, the various chapters of the College Equal Suffrage Association joined to form the National College Equal Suffrage League, and became an official branch of NAWSA. Bryn Mawr College President M. Carey Thomas served as the first president and Maud Wood Park as vice president.The National College Equal Suffrage League continued to recruit people to the suffrage cause for the next several years. Many of the league’s members would play major roles in helping to push the suffrage amendment through Congress, campaigning and serving in organizations like the League of Women Voters, which formed in 1920.".
