American Attitudes on World Organization
WE ARE fast approaching the day when a whole generation will have come of age since the beginning of World War II. In four years, we will begin drafting young men who were just being born as the armies of Hitler swept into Poland in 1939. The generation of Americans who fought in that war are approaching middle age. Time has slipped away rapidly since the most devastating of all wars, but time has not stilled the fears of the people over war. Our…

The Theory of the State: Edmund Burke
No Statesman ever insisted more often or more stoutly that he was a practical man than Edmund Burke. On almost every page of his writings he proclaims his distaste for theory and abstraction. But he could seldom leave a question without a fling at the theory of it. This was unfortunate, for his theoretical efforts, though often dazzling, were rarely convincing. The examination of the body of his doctrine on any subject, taken as a whole, is likel…

The Organization of a University
T HE object of a university is the advancement of knowledge, but to disseminate the knowledge it has gained is not a necessary part of the obligation of a university.

Education is synthetic and generalized; research is analytical and detailed. Education is becoming more generalized…

An Institute of Human Relations
The Institute of Human Relations at Yale is an organization for the co-operative study of man. Research in the biological sciences and their applications in medicine is here connected, through psychology, with research in the social sciences and their applications in law. The Institute is a co-ordination and expansion, made possible by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, of previously established mental-hygiene work, the Institute of Psychol…
