At the thirteenth annual meeting of the Mohonk Conference on International Arbitration, Mr. Eugene Levering of Baltimore, Maryland, generously offered a sum of money to be devoted to advancing the aims of the Conference. In accepting the gift the Conference directed that the fund be expended under the auspices of the Johns Hopkins University. Believing that the fund would be best expended in making known the achievements of the Hague Peace Conferences, the University authorities asked Mr. James Brown Scott, Solicitor for the Department of State and Technical Delegate of the United States to the Second Conference, to deliver a course of lectures upon the work and result of the Conferences. Mr. Levering's generous donation has been employed in defraying the expenses of this publication.
