- "On this basis, which was originally financial and goes back to
George Peabody, there grew up in the twentieth century a power
structure between London and New York which penetrated deeply into
university life, the press, and the practice of foreign policy. In
England the center was the Round Table Group, while in the United
States it was J P Morgan and Company or its local branches in
Boston, Philadelphia and Cleveland. Some rather incidental examples
of the operations of this structure are very revealing, just
because they are incidental. For example, it set up in Princeton a
reasonable copy of the Round Table Group's chief Oxford
headquarters, All Souls College. This copy, called the Institute
for Advanced Study, and best known, perhaps, as the refuge of
Einstein, Oppenheimer, John von Neumann, and George F. Kennan, was
organized by Abraham Flexner of the Carnegie Foundation and
Rockefeller's General Education Board after he had experienced the
delights of All Souls while serving as Rhodes Memorial Lecturer at
Oxford. The plans were largely drawn by Tom Jones, one of the Round
Table's most active intriguers and foundation administrators." -
