NEW CHAIR FOUNDED
Institutions Of Europe <N.Z.P.A:-Reuter—CopprlffM) EDINBURGH. Britain's first chair of European institutions is being established at Edinburgh University. Earlier this year, Edinburgh University formed a centre of European governmental studies with funds mainly from the Calouste Gulbenkian and Volkswagen Foundations. The first holder of the new chair, Professor J. D. B. Mitchell, the 50-year-old head of constitutional law at Edinburgh, will be the centre’s director. “The problems of a modem complex state are acute,’* he says, “and in Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands, for example, we are all facing roughly the same problems in law, regional planning and democracy.” It is hoped that the centre will eventually provide study facilities for European postgraduate students and help organise study exchanges between Scottish and European universities. The centre will also build its own specialist library of some 30,000 books.
