the business cycle in Denmark during the 1920S’ and ’jos’; price-

A study group of a special kind was directed by the German
emigrant, Professor Theodor Geiger, on various sociological

handbook of sociology from the pen of professor Geiger, the
Institute supporting its publication by a money grant.
Publications on International Relations
Some of the Institute’s publications on international relations
are also the products of study groups in so far as the material
used in these books was originally collected by the students and
later enlarged and edited by their group leaders.

as naval problems in the Pacific, the British naval base at Singa-
pore, the Philippine Islands, and the Japanese mandated terri-
