AFFILIATION WITH THE ADLAI E. STEVENSON INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS (!7) The Adlai E. Stevenson Institute of International Affairs, founded in February, 1967, "to contribute to the quality of decision making on matters of urgent public policy throughout the world," is organizing a Consortium of Universities to "serve as a vital and constructive force in matters of public policy," particularly through support of a fellowship program. The University of Illinois has been invited to join the Consortium, which will include some twenty institutions. The Institute, autonomous but housed on the campus of the University of Chicago, will bring together scholars, businessmen, men of public affairs, and professional personnel to think through the details of major international issues and to evolve ideas for action. It will undertake three programs simultaneously: (1) a program for designing practical steps toward the solution of a few carefullyselected problems of international public policy; (2) public-policy studies on selected issues, each conducted by one or more Institute fellows, with stimulation and criticism from an appointed advisory group; and (3) a fellowship program. The fellowship plan is the heart of the current Institute effort. It will bring together, both from at home and abroad, experienced statesmen, administrators, scholars, businessmen, and journalists, mostly in mid-career. There will normally be twenty-five such fellows each year. Among the ten already chosen for 1967-68, two are former ambassadors and one a deputy prime minister; and there are others from government and university posts. These senior fellows will conduct the policy studies, meet with special citizen and professional groups brought together by the Institute, and lecture at the Consortium universities.
