Russian Student Fund

<p class="MsoNormal" >Kennan spoke in January of 1947 at the&#160; Council on Foreign Affairs meeting in New York City. The meeting was on The Soviet Way of Thought and Its Effect on Soviet Foreign policy. 53

Kennan was the discussion leader and others present who were interconnected with this work included: Frank Altschul; Arthur H. Dean; George S. Franklin and Arthur A. Houghton. Houghton was President of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and worked at Corning Glassware with Robert D. Murphy. Other members of the CFR who were friends with Dimitri Von Mohrenschildt included John C. Campbell of <i>Time-Life</i>; Stephen Duggan Sr., whose son sat on the editorial board of the <i>Russian Review</i>; Henry V. Poor, of Amcomlib <b>and R. Gordon Wasson, a CIA agent and a Director of the Russian Student Fund.</b>

Stephen Duggan Sr. was the founder of the Russian Student Fund for Refugees in 1917. It’s ironic because George de Mohrenschildt received a loan from the Russian Student Fund so that he could attend University of Texas as a geologist in 1945. In 1918-19 Duggan founded the Institute of International Education. John Foster Dulles was one of the directors.</p>
