The
Ralph J. Bunche
Memorial
Award
It is particularly appropriate that the Award be made in honor of Dr. Bunche, a renowned world statesman who was dedicated to world peace. Dr. Bunche died in December, 1971. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of International House from 1954 to 1971. (Ed. note: As this went to press the Board of Trustees of International House had just set up a Scholarship award in his name and in his honor.)
Through
the
thoughtful
efforts of
Raymond S. Rubinow, The J.M. Kaplan Fund, of which he is Trustee and Secretary, has donated $1,500 in prize money in a contest which is a tribute to Ralph J. Bunche, former Trustee of |. House. There will be prizes for the best proposals sub-
mitted on ‘How can the World Members of International House best serve the cause of world peace? What new dimensions need to be explored so that the 20,000 alumni can make their most ef-
fective
contribution?”
All
present
and
past members of |. House-New York, including all World Members, will be eligible. It is the hope of the Award Committee, that out of this contest will come practical, effective ideas for the goals of

Brian Urquhart, Director, Office of Under-Secretary General for Special Political Affairs, said in a tribute to him delivered at Riverside Church on December 11, 1971: ‘To know Ralph Bunche and to work with him was both a great experience and an education. Whether in the field or at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, he was, for 25 years, the center and the animator of an endless effort to unravel the tangled skein of human affairs, to prevent disasters and to make bad and intractable situations a little better. His capacity for work was legendary, and in his work for the United Nations nothing could distract him. He applied his great intellect, his resourcefulness and his extraordinary skill and energy to the complex new art of multilateral diplomacy and peace-keeping with total devotion.
“Ralph
was courageous morally and physically in a typically unostentatious
way. He risked his life on many occasions for the UN without ever treating his experiences as anything out of the normal call of duty. He was determined to do what had to be done, and he was not prepared to be put off by criticism or opposition or
personal risk or discomfort.” From
1947 to 1954,
Dr. Bunche was Principal Director of the United Nations
Department of Trusteeship and Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories. In January, 1955, he served as Under-Secretary without specific departmental responsibility. In 1957, he became Under-Secretary for Special Political Affairs and in 1968 this title was changed to Under-Secretary-General, which he remained until problems of health forced his retirement. He was the recipient of numerous honor-
ary degrees and awards. Among the latter are Phi Beta Kappa; the Nobel] Peace Prize in 1950; the Spingarn Medal in 1949; the Four Freedoms Award in 1961; the Peace Award of the Third Order of St. Francis in 1954; and the Golden Key Award in
1962. In 1963 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. (Ed. Note:
One of the most perceptive articles on Dr. Bunche appeared in the Janu-
ary 1, 1972, New Yorker magazine.) (Photograph above, taken at |. House, 1968)

He inspired us all with his interest in young people and his devotion to the ideals of International House. . . His singular contribution was in guiding and nurturing the worldwide Alumni Program.

“Around

Secretary of the International House Association Trust in London, tells us in a recent letter about the effort to build a
new International House there. “Our first aim was to provide friendship and hospitality for the overseas students who live in lonely lodgings and eventually return to their native lands with grim memories of their stay . . . In 1969 our scheme for building a house in Regents Park, London had to be scrapped for a number of causes — mainly money — but for the past 15 months we have been working on an alternative project for building a smaller House at Coventry on the campus of Warwick University.

Nostalgia Department Do you recognize yourself — where and when these pictures were taken? The archives are bulging with photographs immortalizing great moments in the life of the House but there is no notion of who and where. Let us know if you can locate a picture in time and space — the Home Room? Halloween? The Festival of the Arts? 1940? 1955?
International House is a non-profit residence and program center for graduate students from all nations. Its programs, supported by contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations, seek to achieve three basic goals: 1. To promote friendship and mutual respect among young people of all countries and cultures; 2. To provide opportunities for students to experience American life through trips, home visits and active participation in the community; 3. To help students reach their educational and professional goals.
