The Walter Hines Page School of International Relations was a research institute that was part of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
It began official operations in 1930, although it had trouble acquiring sufficient funding, and was led at different times by John Van Antwerp MacMurray, Frederick S. Dunn, and Owen Lattimore.
[3] Vice President of the United States Charles G. Dawes gave his share of the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize to the school, a gift that amounted to around $15,775.
[4] Under the university presidency of Joseph Sweetman Ames, the Walter Hines Page School of International Relations was organized as a division of Johns Hopkins.
[9] The school was intended to look at the specific problems that American foreign policy faced,[5] and there was also the idea that the research produced might give humanity some guidance towards finding world peace.
[9] The Page School's initial director was the American diplomat John Van Antwerp MacMurray,[1] who officially stayed in the position until 1936.
[4] Perhaps the best-known early work coming out of the Page School was Albert K. Weinberg's 1935 book Manifest Destiny: A Study of Nationalist Expansionism in American History.
[3] Action was taken to "discontinue" the Page School in 1953, as part of what Bronk termed "a series of steps being taken at the university to simplify its academic structure.
