SHOTWELL SPEAKS ON WORLD WAR IN HISTORY

As the second lecturer on the 1924-25 series of Alumni Lectures on the Guernsey Center Moore Foundation, Prof. James T. Shotwell of Columbia University delivered a series of six lectures on the general topic "The World War in History" from March 10 to March 16.

Probably no other man has had greater opportunity, through his contacts, to acquaint himself with the present status of world politics than has Professor Shotwell. Since the Peace Conference he has been almost constantly in Europe in his capacity as general editor of a series of monographs on the Economic and Social History of the War. He has had unequaled opportunities for intimate contact with th& leaders in European affairs.

The one achievement for which Professor Shotwell has recently received the highest praise is for his share in the drafting of the so-called Shotwell-Bliss plan, a part of which has been included in the Protocol of the League of Nations agreement. In this plan was first defined the aggressive nation in any international dispute.

At Dartmouth his first lecture was on "The Problem for History." This was followed by "How Great Britain Stood the Strain" on Wednesday. "The Continental Upheaval," was the subject of Thursday's lecture and on Friday he discussed "The Question of Responsibility."

"The Peace Conference and Post War Policy" was fully explained on Saturday and in the final lecture on Monday he estimated "The Costs of War" from many points of view.

The Dartmouth Alumni Lectureships were instituted in 1921 through the generosity of Mr. Henry L. 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 Wallas. Yusuke Tsurumi was the first, and Professor Shotwell the second lecturer of the fourth series.
