PROF. SHOTWELL SECOND ALUMNI LECTURER

The Dartmouth Alumni Lectureships were instituted in 1921 through the generosity of Mr. Henry Moore, Trustee of the College. Lecturers of the first series were Ralph Adams Cram and Roscoe C. Pound; of the second series, Charles Austin Beard and William Lyon Phelps; of the third series, Paul Shorey and Graham Wallace. Yusuke Tsurumi was the first, and James T. Shotwell, professor of history at Columbia University, will be the second lecturer of the fourth series.

Professor Shotwell has been in an excellent position to acquire knowledge of the effect of the war on Europe. He was a member of "The Inquiry," preparation committee for the Peace Conference 1917-18; chief of the division of History, and member of the International Labor Legislation Commission at the Peace Conference, 1918-19; American representative to the Union Academique Internationale, 1919-23; president of the Fifth International Congress of Historical Sciences, Brussels, 1923.

Since the Peace Conference, he has been engaged las general editor of the series known as the Economic and Social History of the War, issued under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The main theme of this book is the extent of the displacement caused by the war in the normal processes of civilization in some sixteen European countries. There are to be ISO monographs published in English, French, German and Italian, with ten supplementary volumes of comparative international surveys and general conclusions. A number of the monographs have already appeared. The final responsibility for both plan and execution rests with Professor Shotwell as general editor. In pursuance of this work he has spent the last six years almost entirely in Europe, where he has 'had unequalled opportunities of meeting the leaders of public life.

Professor Shotwell had an important share in the construction and submission of The Draft Treaty of Disarmament and Security offered by The American Group. A portion of this Draft Treaty is now included in the Protocol of the League of Nations.

The lectures will be given in room 103, Dartmouth Hall, at 4.30 o'clock each afternoon from Tuesday, March 10, through Menday, March 16, with the exception of Sunday, March IS. "The World War and History" will be his subject. You and such of your friends as may be interested, are cordially invited to attend these lectures.
