Intercollegiate Peace Association

The Intercollegiate Peace Association was an American peace organization formed in the early 20th century to encourage college students to study public questions of war and peace and to compete in speaking contests on those themes. In audiobook and ebook records for Prize Orations of the Intercollegiate Peace Association, the association is commonly credited as the author, with Stephen Francis Weston identified as the editor of the 1914 volume.

That book brings together prize-winning student orations from intercollegiate contests held between 1907 and 1914. Weston edited the collection and added an introduction, while educator Charles Franklin Thwing contributed the foreword. Together, the volume preserves the voices of students who were wrestling with arbitration, disarmament, and the moral costs of war at a moment when organized peace activism was growing in the United States.

Because this is a corporate author rather than a single person, there is no appropriate individual author portrait to use here. A portrait does exist for Charles Franklin Thwing, who wrote the foreword, but he was not the main credited author of the work.
