of that subject, as many fellowships as possible should be 

 established in the Academy at The Hague and put at the 

 disposition of advanced students of international law in the 

 different American Republics. 



Article 27. 



The Second Pan American Scientific Congress expresses the opinion 

 that— 

 The present development of higher education in the American 

 Republics and the place which they have now assumed in the 

 affairs of the society of nations justify and demand that the 

 study of the science and historic applications of international 

 law be treated on a plane of equality with other subjects in 

 the curriculum of colleges and universities, and that pro- 

 fessorships or departments devoted to its study be estab- 

 lished where they do not exist in every institution of higher 

 learning. 



Article 28. 



The Second Pan American Scientific Congress, recognizing the growing 

 importance of a knowledge of international law to all persons 

 who intend to devote themselves to the administration of 

 justice, and who, through their professional occupation, may 

 contribute largely to the formation of public opinion and who 

 may often be vested with the highest offices in the State and 

 nation, earnestly requests all lavvf schools which now offer no 

 instruction in international law to add to their curriculum a 

 thorough course in that subject. 



Article 29. 



The Second Pan American. Scientific Congress regards it as highly desir- 

 able, upon the initiative of institutions where instruction in 

 international law is lacking, to take steps toward providing 

 such instruction by visiting professors or lecturers, this in- 

 struction to be given in courses, and not in single lectures, 

 upon substantive principles, not upon popular questions of 

 momentary interest, and in a scientific spirit, not in the 

 interest of any propaganda.
