and the liberation Of German speech.

HARDEN. CRITIC OF KAISER. "'BoUT FACES"

Germany His speeches and writings have been
spontaneous indictments to patriotism. To-day
Harden is the stanchest supporter of the Kaiser
whom formerly he derded Standing with bowed
head before the German people, Harden said:
az Of us forget the past and stand together ike
one man in this hour of need, that Germany may
be reborn greater, a stronger, nobler empire"
In one Of his recent articles, copied by every
paper in Germany he wrote:
"Let US drop our attempts to excuse Germany's
action. Not against our will nor as a nation taken
by surprise did we hurl ourselves into this gi-
gantic venture. We willed it. We had to will It.
We do not stand before the judgment seat Of
Europe. We acknowledge no such jurisdiction
Our might shall create a new law in Europe"
He has struck the keynote Of German sentiment
The people, the press everybody, acclaim him the
man Of the hour His brilliant intellect pene-
trates further than before. It reaches the
masses and breeds in them new sense Of patriot
ism Social distinction is keenly felt in Germany,
but his imprisoned words bridge the gap between
classes and masses. When he speaks the halls are
packed; when he writes, every paper in Germany
quotes from his writings.
Harden was born forty-eight years ago, the son
of a poor Jewish merchant. His real name is Max
Witskowski. At the age of twelve years he ran
away from home Later he Joined theatrical
troupe and travelled through Northern Germany
with them. During these travels, stretching over
seven years, Harden came into close contact with
all types of people He studied the social condi-
tons at first hand and formulated the principles
whose exposition has now brought him fame and
fortune.
Harden has special gift for carcatures, and
occasionally illustrates the pictures Of his pen by
clever drawings in the "Zukunft."
For years he has preached the doctrine that
Germany and England had to compromise or fight
He stirred in the people the spirit of prepared
ness for combat Now he IS preparing them for
the arduous tasks imposed by the practical new
patriotism which he is preaching everywhere, and
press and people of Germany hail him as the
champion Of their cause.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-12-27

here to make New York University worthy OF
its name. Born at Oxford, Ohio; educated at
Miami University, Xenia U. P. Theological
Seminary, Princeton Theological Seminary,
and the Universities OF Tubingen and Berlin,
he had been successvely-and successtully-a
teacher and superintendent OF common schools
in Ohio, the pastor of two important churches,
and professor Of philosophy and chancellor OF
what is now the University of Pittsburgh. Then
in 1884 he came to New York University as
professor OF philosophy and the next year be-
came vice-chancellor.
New York University, which had been
founded on the first true university plan ever
formulated in America, had never fairly real
lied that plan. 1t consisted OF small under
graduate college in the lovely old eastellated
building on Washington Square, with students
counted only by the score but with faculty Il
half dozen OF the finest scholars in America;
and of two big proprietary schools, OF law and
of medicine, the relation OF which with the col
lege was the merest shadow OF name Haw-
ard Crosby as chancellor had worn his heart
out fighting against desperate odds, and had
been succeeded in that Office by John Hall;
who, being busy with his pastoral duties at the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, could give
to the university little more than nominal at
tention.
1t therefore fell to the vice-chancellor-a
new Office, specially created for DR.. MacCrack-
en--to be the actual, active, working head OF
the institution.
And he was that. Let there be no mistake
about it, The mex, few years saw such shak-
ing I'D Of dry bones as the academic world OF
Gotham had never before known or dreamed

of. DR.. MacCracken set out TO make OF New
York University a true university in at once
the most extended, the most cultivated and
the most practical. sense. The undergraduate
colleges OF Arts and Pure Science must be
maintained. There must be Graduate School,
a School OF Pedagogy, and Of course great
School OF Applied Science. And these and all
others, with the existing schools OF Law and
Medicine, must be coherently and compacty
organized under a single administrative con-
troll.
There were, of course, those who said that it
couldn't be done. There always are There
were also those who said that il shouldn't be
done, and who actively and aggressivey sought
to thwart and defeat the project. This is not
the place to tell the story OF that conflict,
which implicated council, faculties. alumni and
the general public. II suffices to say that the
chancellor-he had succeeded to that Office in
16ol-won.
The Law and Medical schools were made in.
tegral parts of the university system, the Grad
uate School. the School Of Applied Science, the
School Of Pedagogy, the Summer School, the
School of Commerce, Finance and Accounts
the Extra-Mural Division, and other depart
ments were successfully organized The great
campus at University Heights one of the finest
academic sites in the world was secured
crowned, in the Library and Hall of Fame for
Great Americans, with what Standard White
regarded as his favorite masterpiece of archi-
lecture.
condensed view of DR.. MacCracken's
achievements at New York University may be
had in just few figures, contrasting the
condition of that institution when he took
hold OF it in lS84-'s5 with its condition when
in 1910 he voluntarily retired and became
chancellor emeritus. He found it with one
faculty of ten members, and left it with eight

faculties of 256. He found it with 81 stu
dents, and left it with Ais. He found it with
a library of 5000 and left it with libraries of
$4,000 volumes He found it with property val
ued at S547, 500 and an income of S26,273, and
he left it with property worth SS,2ll,S2l and
an income of S434,378 year.
Is.it any wonder that in such circumstances
there arose among other institutions demand
for chips Of the old block or, to put it with
little more academic dignity, that the sons OF
this pussant chancellor, educated and trained
by himself and expert in the ways and means
which had assured New York University mar
vellous success, might themselves prove to be
acceptable heads OF colleges'
Iohn Henry was Of course the first to be
called; or "Dr. John as he became more re-
spectfully known not long after his undergrad

had studied at Union Theological Seminary,
and at Halle and Wttenberg, Germany, and
had been instructor and professor in New York

twenty-four years he was elected to his first
college presidency the youngest college presi-

in the university, and had been associated in

of 1894. He was president Of his class, the
graduating class of that year, and as such pre-
sided over the impressive ceremonies which
marked the university's farewell to its beauti-
full and famous old home on Washington
Square to enter into the larger life which was

In old Sunbury Court House, on the Susque-

the accounts of Mrs. Mary MacCracken, ex-
ecutrix of the estate of her husband, Henry

against the invading redeoats and redskins
from the northern lakes. The inventory be-

"One pair OF buckskin breeches; one pair OF
