Orin Clarkson Baker

Orin Clarkson Baker (1864, Ohio - 1957, Miami, Florida) was General Secretary of the Travelers Aid Society of New York (TAS-NY) from 1911 to 1917.

The TAS-NY was formed by Grace Hoadley Dodge in 1907 to protect native-born and immigrant women from the moral dangers, especially "white slavery", that were thought to be rampant at urban train stations and piers.

Upon Dodge's death in 1914, Orin Baker became the face of the Travelers Aid movement in New York and the United States.

He criss-crossed the country to promote travelers' aid as a legitimate subfield of the emerging social work profession.

He had also served, since 1905, as the Assistant Superintendent of the Evangelistic Committee, primarily handling its business affairs.
