The College Settlements Association was formed in 1890, "to bring all college women within the scope of a common purpose and a common work" establishing branches in twelve colleges in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore, such as Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Vassar, the Annex (Harvard). Vida Scudder, "recently returned from study with John Ruskin at Oxford and newly appointed to the faculty of Wellesley, was apparently the moving force in the group whose primary motivation seemed to be to break the restrictive bonds of gender and class."
