1955 - Dr. Gilbert Murray - The League of Nations Movement: Some Recollections of the Early Days

In this lecture, Dr. Gilbert Murray reviewed the intellectual history leading up to the creation of the League of Nations. He discussed some of the major works and organisations that created the backdrop necessary for the League’s creation, focusing on the many difficulties that arose in both competing visions and practical matters. He believed that the League of Nations experience taught them the immense strength of national feeling and vanity that can be aroused under appropriate circumstances.
