Among Vassar’s progressives, women’s suffrage was never the sole focus of attention. Rather, suffrage was one of many causes to which student activists devoted themselves. These causes included labor advocacy, settlement house work, and child welfare, to name a few. These student progressives outlasted the anti-suffrage James Monroe Taylor, who retired as president of Vassar in February 1914. During the months leading up to and just after his retirement, student activists continued to push for official acceptance of women’s suffrage on campus. In 1915, Taylor’s successor, Henry Noble MacCracken began his long presidency. More politically progressive than Taylor, MacCracken supported women’s suffrage and encouraged students’ efforts to secure voting rights.<\/p>

“President Bars Vassar Campus Suffragists.” (12 October 1915)
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Although Henry Noble MacCracken genuinely supported women’s suffrage, he did not endorse the aims and methods of those he judged to be radicals. He rejected a proposed campus suffrage meeting (the poster for which appears below), planned to coincide with his inauguration ceremony, that would have featured militant activists such as Inez Milholland.<\/p>
