supporters.
The reluctance of German univer-
sity authorities to listen to talk Of
'Americanization" is due to some
thing bordering upon constitutional
contempt for Yankee culture" Ger
man herr professors regard Ameri-
cans in their proper field of activity
in packing pork, building bridges
and locomotives and financing trusts,
but in the realm of art, science, and
culture they still consider the coun-
try far too young, still too barren
of history and traditions to be fit
soil for the inculcation Of real
knowledge. Deep down in their
hearts it is probable they have moth
ing but pity for the Kaiser's pro-
posaI, based as it is on the presump-
ton that American university men
really have something to say which
Germans can afford to learn.
Germans have so long been the
mentors of Americans educationally
that they shrink from the thought
of the teacher being taught. For
similar reasons the day is probably
somewhat remote when German stu
dents will be induced to visit the
United States for university work.
There is little conception in the

Yale, Chicago, Johns Hopkins,
Princeton, Columbia, Cornell. Michi-
