Line 7: ==Early Life and Education== Baldwin was born in [[Wellesley, Massachusetts]] to comfortably situated parents, in 1884. He was educated at [[Harvard College]], where he earned an M.A. degree, and then moved to St. Louis, where he taught social work at [[Washington University]]. His first wife was lawyer and feminist Madeleine Z. Doty, who wrote for several [[New York City]] newspapers. Doty and Baldwin were married in 1919 and divorced in 1936, but had not lived together for the last ten years of their life. Baldwin then married Evelyn Preston in 1936, and they remained married until Preston's death in 1962.<ref>[Roger Nash Baldwin collection at Princeton University]</ref> At the approach of [[World War I]], Baldwin, a pacifist, co-founded the Fellowship of Reconciliation, which opposed the use of warfare in the settlement of international disputes. Among his colleagues in this endeavor were Norman Thomas, perennial Socialist candidate for President; the pacifist/Marxist A. J. Muste; and radical journalist Oswarld Garrison Villard, Editor of The Nation.
