A significant phase of the Peace Movement is the springing 11p of organizations for propaganda. In the college and university field we have the Intercollegiate Peace Association. This is an indirect outgrowth of the Lake Mohonk Conferences on Interna- tional Arbitration. The organizatitm had its inception in a peace conference of colleges of Indiana and Ohio, called in 1905 by Noah E. Byers, president of Goshen College, Indiana. The devel- opment of the organization has been rapid. It now includes about sixty colleges and univ'etsities in Illinois Indiana Ohio Perinsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. The active work of the association is varied. The secretary is kept in the field as much as possible, promoting the interests of the organization. An extensive series of oratorical contests, local, state and interstate, on the subject of international arbitra‘ tion or peace, is carried on, resulting in the preparation and delivery of hundreds of orations annually. Lectures and special exer- cises on the subject are promoted as widely as possible. .1\ goodly supply of standard peace literature is installed in every college library. An annual convention of the association is held in the interest of the worl'. The net result of this propaganda, in its various forms, is the spreading of education on the subject in a special way throughout every institution in the organization. |
