This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

These pages have not been written in the spirit of propaganda either for or against the League of Nations. The intention is to let facts speak for themselves, and readers and students can draw their own conclusions. The chief authority for the facts here given is, of course, the Official Journal and auxiliary publications issued by the Secretariat of the League. These publications include a great mass' of material to which newspapers must do scant justice on account of limitations of time and space. And to which the average reader would find no clue.

Charles Herbert Levermore was an American educator and peace advocate. He was the president of Adelphi University from 1896 to 1912. He was corresponding secretary of the World's Court League in 1919, secretary of the League of Nations Union, and secretary of the New York Peace Society.
Background
Charles Herbert Levermore was born in Mansfield, Connecticut, United States, the son of a Congregational clergyman, Rev. Aaron Russell Livermore, and his wife, Mary Gay (Skinner). His family in both branches was deep-rooted in the soil of his native state, his father being a direct descendant of John Livermore, who emigrated from Ipswich, England, to Boston and was one of the first proprietors of the town of Wethersfield, Connecticut; and his mother, from Henry Wolcott, one of the first settlers in Hartford. Shortly after his graduation from college Charles adopted the early spelling of the family name.
Education
Educated as a boy at the Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, he went to Yale, where he received the degree of A. B. in 1879. Later he attended Johns Hopkins University, where he received a Ph. D. in 1885.
Career
Levermore entered upon thirty years of teaching and study, serving as principal of Guilford Institute (1879 - 1883), teaching history in the Hopkins Grammar School (1885 - 1886), in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1888 - 1893), and holding the position of principal in Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, New York (1893 - 1896). He then became president of Adelphi College, Brooklyn, which he founded in 1896 and served until 1912. His retirement from Adelphi, which was followed by a year of rest and recuperation in the South, marked his withdrawal from the field of education, and his definite entrance into activities in behalf of world peace, which became henceforth the work, almost the passion, of his life.
For four years (1913 - 1917) he was associated with the World Peace Foundation in Boston, during the last two, as acting director. In 1917 he became secretary of the New York Peace Society; in 1919, of the World Court and the League of Nations Union; and in 1922, of the American Association for International Cooperation. In 1923 he joined with other distinguished peace leaders in organizing the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association, which he served as vice-president until his death. During this period, after the establishment of the League of Nations, he prepared and published annually a complete survey of the work of the League for each current year, thorough, critical, and extremely useful.
His learning, skill, devotion, and high statesmanship as a peace worker earned dramatic and distinguished recognition in 1924, when he won the American Peace Award of $50, 000 offered by Edward W. Bok for "the best practicable plan by which the United States may co-operate with other nations to achieve and preserve the peace of the world. " Several hundred thousand plans were submitted in this contest, of which 22, 165 met the conditions and were considered by the judges. Levermore's plan emphasized the two "substantial provisions" that (1) the United States should adhere to the Permanent Court of International Justice, and (2) should extend its cooperation with the League of Nations, "without becoming a member of the League as at present constituted. " He received the prize from Hon. John W. Davis at a great mass meeting in Philadelphia, on February 4, 1924. The enormous publicity which accompanied the granting of this award brought its winner fame and acclaim throughout the world. Invitations for articles and addresses were showered upon him; but a long-postponed dream of seeing Europe and studying peace in the area of war took him abroad, and he spent two years in England, France, Italy, and Switzerland, with visits to Athens, Constantinople, and North Africa.
On his return, he went to California, in anticipation of a journey to the Orient, and stopped for a short stay in Berkeley. Here he died suddenly of arteriosclerosis of the brain. Zealous and thorough study made him a scholar of first-class attainment in many fields. Special knowledge of history and politics, coupled with utter devotion to his task, and a fine dignity and power of personality, constituted his equipment for success as a leader in the cause of peace. His publications disclose the avocations as well as the vocations of his life: The Republic of New Haven (1886); Political History Since 1815 (1889, revised edition 1893), with D. R. Dewey; The Academy Song Book (1895); The Students' Hymnal (1911); Forerunners and Competitors of the Pilgrims and Puritans (2 vols. , 1912), The American Song Book (1917); Life of Samuel Train Dutton (1922); and numerous magazine articles and reviews.
