M emoirs of a P eace H istorian
This article will tell the personal story of how I came to write about the peace movement and then something about my work on this subject during my year in Europe 1936–37 as a Harvard Sheldon Traveling Fellow.

The Nobel Peace Prize-A Balance Sheet
The Emergence of the International Law Societies
The history of world politics of the half century before 1914 is full of nationalist wars, imperialist conflicts, and the diplomacy of the armed peace. To the less spectacular developments of internationalism so little attention is usually paid that the League of Nations almost seems to emerge full-grown from the head of Woodrow Wilson. It is true that the dominant trend in the relations between the sovereign states was anything but pacific, and …
