Page School

Three years ago Dr. John Van Antwerp MacMurray resigned as U. S. Minister to China to become director of a school which has neither faculty nor students--the Walter Mines Page School of International Relations, offspring of Johns Hopkins. Named for the famed scholar-diplomat who was once a Johns Hopkins postgradu ate fellow, the School was founded by popular subscription. Owen D. Young chairmanned a committee to raise $1.000,000. The late Publisher Edward William Bok gave $50,000 to finance the first year. Bernard Mannes Baruch gave $250,000 for a scholarly inquiry into the relation between profiteering and the causes of war.

Last week Director MacMurray was preparing to set out as U. S. Minister to Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania, with perhaps Soviet Russia as a later objective (TIME, Oct. 30). During his absence the Page School will be directed by Dr. Frederick Sherwood Dunn, associate in the School, onetime assistant solicitor in the State Department, member of mixed claims commissions, fellow in international law at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Dunn has completed a study on "Protection of Nationals." is working on "Intervention in International Affairs." Other Page School projects: a round table on China; studies on oil in Russia by Dr. Lazare Teper, "Manifest Destiny" by Dr. A. K. Weinberg, Chinese boycotts by Professor C. F. Remer, peace systems by Colonel Samuel Curtis Vestal, the U. S. attitude toward France by Dr. Gilbert Chinard.
