Organized around Mme. Sun Yat-sen and a distinguished group of academic intellectuals (members of the Academica Sinica, China's national academy), the League's leaders included Hu Shi, Lin Yutang, Lu Xun, and Cai Yuanpei. The Executive Secretary was Yang Quan (Yang Xingfo), an Academica Sinica economist and one of Smedley's bourgeois »patrician« friends from her first year in Shanghai. Although the League drew public attention to the problem of persecution, including some well-publicized visits to prisons, its achievements were few and fleeting.
