Authorities to Address Schools Schools of Foreign Affairs Offer Distinguished Speakers for All January Sessions Authorities from Northwestern uni- versity on the various topics scheduled for consideration at the Schools of Foreign Affairs on Thursdays in Jan- uary will conduct round-table discus- sions during the afternoon sessions.
