cerned with research of direct and indirect importance
to international relations. The plans
of the graduate department and of the Institute
of Research in International Relations should
make Yale University a center for the study of
problems of foreign relations and for the formulation
of practical proposals as to policy. An
integrated four-year course of study featuring
international relations has already been set up
in the undergraduate college.
A second university grant was made in 1935 to
John Casimir University at Lwow, Poland, toward
the research program of the Institute of
Constitutional and International Law, the chief
university center in Poland for teaching and
research in international relations. Formerly the
Foundation had given financial assistance to
the institute through small grants from the
Paris office. Under the 1935 appropriation $5,000
is available annually for three years. The Lwow
institute is under the directorship of Professor
Ludwik Ehrlich, a recognized authority on international
problems. In 1934 the institute organized
a conference of representatives of universities
from ten countries in Eastern Europe, from
Scandinavia to Greece, to discuss the development
of university teaching and
research in
international relations in this area.
