E. C. Warriner

While there, he was elected to the board of directors for the National Education Association to represent Michigan school districts.

[3] Warriner wrote the 1913 text The Teaching of English Classics in the Grammar Grades,[n 1] published by Riverside Press (a division of Houghton Mifflin) and used widely in U.S. schools at the time.

[5] Warriner viewed sports as important crucibles of character—especially honesty—and was instrumental in establishing formal rules for school athletics.

[7] Warriner was founder and President of the Michigan Branch of the American School Peace League on October 28, 1910.

Warriner believed that American history was a vital component of becoming an intellectual citizen, which was the whole point of education.

It failed, and in 1913 the Michigan Equal Suffrage Association claimed that the failure was due to election fraud.

In a speech delivered in 1914, Warriner stated "I am fully persuaded in my own mind of the justice of the demand of the women for a right to vote."

[17] It still stands at Central Michigan University, with its original name, housing the president's office and the academic administration.
