| Summary: | In this February 10, 1967 closing keynote address to the Auburn Conference on International Affairs, Dr. Richard Gardner, senior advisor to United Nations Ambassador Arthur Goldberg, discussed alliances and global peace. Dr. Gardner, a professor of Law and International Relations at Columbia University, said that both the U.S. and Russia will benefit from interlocking and mutually reinforcing alliances. The lecture was the closing session of the 1967 Auburn Conference on International Affairs in which speakers discussed the theme of 'The United States and its World Alliances.' ACOIA was a regional conference, originally sponsored by the Auburn University Student Senate, on international affairs and social issues. Each conference focused on a specific theme and typically featured 5-10 speakers over a two- to three-day period. Circa 1970, the conference's format was changed to a series of speeches over a two- to three-month period; around the same time, the conference's purview was expanded to include domestic issues. In that connection, the conference's name was changed from 'Auburn Conference on International Affairs' to 'Horizons' in 1971. The Horizons lectures were organized by students on the Horizons Committee of the University Program Council (UPC) in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Title supplied by metadata creator.
