Theodore Marburg. [Born] 1862.
He was an early President of the American Society for the Judicial Settlement of International Disputes; he was an organizer of the League to Enforce Peace; in 1910 he wrote “The Peace Movement Practical”; in 1911, “Salient Thoughts on Judicial Settlement”; in 1917, “League of Nations.” Important things to have done these are, at the times he did them; but it was work done from 1915 on at Dr. Marburg’s dinners in the private dining room of the Century which make important his record as a worker in the cause of international peace. The story is told at large by the historians who have written the forthcoming history of the Century, just as is told the story of another group of men who met in the Summer of 1940 and pondered ways and means of preparing the nation for another world struggle which seemed to them then as inevitable as it later proved to be.
A good internationalist. Dr. Marburg also was a good citizen; American Minister to Belgium, Trustee of the Johns Hopkins University, organizer of the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore and active in many causes.
