Complete existing research record
Institute self-description evidence
The 1944 report described the Société as the Geneva vehicle that managed the Institute after most of the endowment was transferred there.
Boundary
Exact incorporation date, charter powers, officers, and legal succession remain under separate verification.
Role in the Columbia record
Columbia's 1934 annual report named the Société when describing transfer of the Institute's work to Morningside Heights. The Société remained part of the Institute's separate legal and financial structure.
Date conflict
Accessible sources conflict between February 1933 and February 1934 for Geneva incorporation. The 1934 constitution in Columbia CF 549 f7 and the Geneva register must be inspected before normalization.
