Proposal for a world peace university in Washington
Oakland uses statements by Philander Claxton US commissioner of education at the American School Peace League luncheon to propose founding a university at Washington DC. It would employ about a thousand professors and cost ten million dollars yearly to educate students from around the world and promote universal peace. Claxton links the idea to fostering right minded global citizens through education, comparing cost to a warship.
