The Mershon Center was founded in 1952 upon the death of Ralph D. Mershon, an alumnus of the school, who left funds to the university for the establishment of a research institute dedicated to the fields of international relations and security. Many schools founded similar centers due to the aftermath of World War II such as the Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia University.
The Mershon Center houses scholars from a variety of fields, including doctoral students, visiting fellows, and permanent faculty affiliates.
Furniss Book Awardedit
In 1982, then-director Charles F. Hermann initiated a book award in honor of the first director of the center, Edgar S. Furniss Jr. The award is presented annually to a scholar whose "...first book makes an exceptional contribution to the study of national and international security."[2]
