The president of Vassar had forbidden suffrage meetings, but Milholland and others held regular " classes " on the issue, along with large protests and petitions.

As a student she was known as an active radical.

She started the suffrage movement at Vassar, enrolled two-thirds of the students, and taught them the principles of socialism.

With the radical group she had gathered about her, she attended socialist meetings in Poughkeepsie which were under the ban of the faculty.

An athletic young woman, she was the captain of the hockey team and a member of the 1909 track team ; she also set a record in the basketball throw.

Milholland was also involved in student productions, the Current Topics Club, the German Club, and the debating team.
