Abstract
THE leading article in Nature of April 5 on the brochure on “The University Teaching of International Relations” is a welcome indication of interest in the possibilities of the subject. May I hope, however, that readers will not be deterred from reading the brochure itself, for then they may find that the participants at the Windsor Conference, far from being muddle-headed about the function of university education, merely held—as might be expected at such an international gathering—a diversity of views on what is, as is recognized in the Nature article, a controversial subject. Furthermore, to suggest that with the founding of the College of Europe the teaching in British universities of international relations has become superfluous seems to me, if I may say so, like suggesting that the establishment of, say, the Hague Academy of International Law had rendered obsolete the Inns of Court.
