The Oberlin Non-Resistance Society was formed at the Ohio
university by students who believed “that the Gospel of Jesus
Christ inculcates the duty of peace and good-will.” They were
inspired by abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison’s New England
group of the same name. They rejected all use of violence even in
the name of duty to country. “we must submit to the
‘powers that be,’ and ‘obey magistrates,’
except when their requirements conflict with God’s laws; when
we are meekly to endure the penalty of disobedience
‘threatening them not.’ ” Though denounced by the
faculty and ignored by the student newspaper, the group was just
the first in a succession of peace organizations at Oberlin.
