Administrative history
The Canadian-American Conference, a joint project of United College and Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota, had its first meeting in 1941. The annual conference, which met at each college in alternate years, offered faculty and students the opportunity to hear reports and discuss issues in international affairs. Over the thirty years of its existence, the Conference heard papers on the new internationalism, the end of White Imperialism, the British Commonwealth in world affairs, ehtnic tensions in the modern world, the nation in the future, The Middle East, and the Pacific and the New World Order. Prominent academics, politicians and businessmen were members of the Institute while at United College, including Lloyd Axworthy, Arthur Lower, Serling Lyon, Kenneth McNaught, William Norrie, Margaret Prang, and Peter Gordon White.
