British actor and theater manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, speaking at Founder’s Day, admitted to changing his mind about women’s suffrage.  “It seems to me that during this war women have risen to the greatness of their responsibilities.  If this is a time of heroism for men, it has been no less a time of heroism in women.  The war is giving them new activities.

“There can be no doubt about woman’s position after the war.  All right-thinking people have made up their minds that women will be the guardians of the world’s peace.”     The New York Times
