The Conference recognised the importance of these proposals, but it considered that some of
them involved certain action and an extension of the programme of the Intellectual Co-operation
Organisation, and that therefore, in conformity with the Organisation’s practice, a preliminary
study should be made of them.
The Conference accordingly transmitted the whole of the proposals to the International
Committee on Intellectual Co-operation and to the Governing Body of the Institute, requesting
them to examine the proposals and take such action upon them as might seem fit.
Owing to the generosity of the French Government and of the General Commissariat of the
Paris Exhibition, the Second General Conference of National Committees on Intellectual Co-operation
was able to meet at the Institute from July 5th to 9th, 1937.
The Conference was opened by M. Yvon Delbos, Minister for Foreign Affairs of France, and
closed by M. Edouard Herriot, President of the French Chamber of Deputies, Chairman of the
French Committee on Intellectual Co-operation and Chairman of the Governing Body of the
International Institute of Intellectual Co-operation.
Professor Gilbert Murray presided over the nine meetings.
The present publication contains the full text of the opening and closing speeches, together
with the twelve reports submitted during the meetings. Long extracts from the discussions are
also given, except in the case of speeches which were simply national reports on the activities of
a special committee, and the final report and resolutions, which the Conference unanimously
approved at its last meeting, are reproduced.
This publication is intended as an expression of thanks to the French Government and the
General Commissariat of the Exhibition, as a grateful acknowledgment to the Rapporteurs and
other persons actively engaged in the work, and as a memento for all who took part in the
Conference. Finally, it is to be regarded as evidence of the vitality of the Intellectual Co-operation
Organisation of the League of Nations.
