Immigration Restriction League (U.S.)

The Immigration Restriction League was founded in 1894 by three Harvard College graduates: Prescott F. (Prescott Farnsworth) Hall, Robert DeCourcy Ward, and Charles Warren. The League was founded in Boston, but membership spread across the U.S. Their intention was to educate the populace to problems of the immigration system in the U.S., gain support for immigration restriction from powerful individuals and groups, and to lobby for passage of restrictive legislation. The League remained active for nearly twenty years, but after the death of Hall, their energy waned and they eventually disbanded.
