== History ==
In 1960, Dr. Arthur A. Hauck, a member of the American Council on Education 〔()〕 and former president of the University of Maine, worked with the Ford Foundation to purchase the Meridian House from Gertrude Laughlin Chanler to serve as headquarters of a non-profit organization called the Washington International Center.
Four additional organizations joined the Center in 1961: the Foreign Student Service Council, the Governmental Affairs Institute, the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and the Institute of International Education. The center was renamed the Meridian House Foundation, which later evolved into Meridian International Center.
