last summer by the endowment and
au horized to establish the academy
engage lecturers and professors and
make other arrangements for the open

1914.
DIR. Scott sailed for Europe a few
days before Christmas and will be away
until February 1. He went Immediately
to The Hague, where he has since en-.
gagged in consultation with publicists of
several nations and with representa-
tives Of international peace societies.
Through his labors the academy, which
has been discussed since 1911 and the
was formally launched.
Before leaving for Europe DR.. Scott
| outlined the purposes OF the academy
and told how 1t would he conducted.
He said:
1.-The academy Of international law
will not compete with any existing
institutions. but the instruction given
will supplement. rather than duplicate
the ordinary instruction given in uni
versities. colleges and schools Of politi-
cal science. 1t will be unique in its
object and purpose, unique In the time
Of its sessions, unique in Its faculty
and unique in its student body"
The academy Is intended for the
highest instruction Of students Of inter-
national law. It's course will begin
where all other schools In political
science leave of. In other words. It will
be al extra postgraduate course in
which international law will he treated
from the worldwide aspect rather than
from the national viewpoint.
| The purpose Is the lnternationaliza-
ton OF international law. In the acad-
envy tie jurisconsul;s OF the various
nations will come together and subjects
will be treated not from the bearing
they might have upon any particular
nation but from the effect they will
have upon the entire world.
| 1t is believed by DR.. Scott. and in this
view he is supported by eminent pub.
licists Of other nations. that the inter-
change Of views cannot bat he helpful
and Will aid in bringing about world
wide peace. This, 1t is expected. will be
accomplished by extending the vision
OF the students beyond the narrow con-
fines Of their own countries and teach
ing them to look upon international
politics from true International view
point.
In order that the academy might not
compete with other schools and that the
| professors might be selected as widely
as possible the academy Will meet only
during the summer vacation period, in
August September and October It's
sessions will he held in the Carnegie
Peace Palace, where the committee in
charge has set aside ample room for
its use.
| The faculty will consist OF men of
the highest training in international
law diplomacy and kindred subjects.
Not more than one member will be
selected from any one country. This
Is done so as to secure the widest DOS
sible interchange Of views and to bring
to the discussions as many national
viewpoints as possible and thus inter-
nationalist the instruction.
| The lecturers will be approximately
four In number and will not only be
theoretically qualified to discuss the
subject matter of the lectures, but will
he men who have also had practical ex-
perience in the various subjects so
| that the lectures. when published. will
| appeal not only to theorists hut IN
practitioners as well. and will he n dis.
| uhct contribution, 1t is felt. to the
literature OF international law and
| diplomacy.
Besides the lecturers there will be n

tries represented at the Second Peace
congress at The Hague. not more than
one from each country and no one to
