BIOGHIST REQUIRED This collection contains documents of the Inter-University Committee on Travel Grants (IUCTG), an organization founded in 1955 to facilitate the exchange of students and scholars between American universities and the Soviet Union. When the first inter-university exchanges were established in 1958, the American universities decided they wanted the program to be run by the universities and since faculty at Columbia played an integral role in the creation of this program, Columbia became home to the administrative offices of the IUCTG. Among the notable individuals involved were Schyler Wallace, Phillip Mosely, Marshall Shulman and other leading figures at Columbia's Russian Institute. In 1960, the administrative offices of the IUCTG were moved to Indiana University in 1960, where they remained until the organization was dissolved into the International Research and Exchanges Board in 1969.
