On December 31, 1916, the membership of the Brotherhood in the United States had reached a total of more than 15,000. Such a large body of professional men, pledged to the humanitarian ideal of saving and preserving life can not fail to exert a beneficial influence. At the end of the war it is proposed to organize similar bodies in other countries. During the year expenditures for the work of the Medical Brotherhood amounted to $3,542.48. Courses on International Relations. The Executive Committee at the meeting held February 28, 1916, made an allotment of $10,000 to provide funds in aid of college and university courses on international relations. The purpose of these courses is to present to students not merely the fundamental principles of international law, but in addition to give them general information and instruction on the whole subject of modern international relations as these present themselves in economics, trade, finance, science, literature and art. The general aim of such a course is to develop the international mind among the people of the United States with a view to helping them to think in terms of international relations and to appreciate with increased knowledge and insight the significance of events throughout the world which have an international bearing. Courses of this kind are being conducted during the present academic year at the following universities: Columbia University, under the direction of Prof. H. F. Munro. Northwestern University, under the direction of Prof. Charles H. Watson.
