International Relations Club
ITH the object of promoting interest in and the study of Inter
V V national Relations, this Club was founded in January, 1930, under
the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Since
that time, with steadily increasing membership, the Club has carried out
a programme of exceptional interest.
The first term was devoted to a study of the problems of Naval
Disarmament. Miss Mary Craif McGeachy, of Geneva, was one of the
principal speakers.
The autumn term was featured by reviews of books in the club
library, and addresses by Rev. G. 0. Fallis and Miss Amy Hemminway
Jones, National Executive Secretary. A delegate attended the All Day
Conference on Peace in November, and three members of the Club
travelled to Reed College, Portland, as part of the U.B.C. delegation to
the Northwest Student International Conference.
Recently the Club became a member of the newly-inaugurated
Canadian Universities League of Nations Society. As a means of pro
moting closer connection between U.B.C. and other Canadian Univer
sities, the Club regards this as a valuable link.
The executive for 1931 includes John Sumner, Bill Roper, Margaret
Black, Frances Milligan, and Herbert Gallagher. Tom Barnett, Helen
Boutilier, Leonard A. Wrinch, Freda Lasser and James Gibson presided
over the Club’s activities during 1930.
