! JENA OFFERS CONTRASTS T.
intellectually Progressive, But Keeps

Jena 10 a town of comfortable con.
trasts. intellectually progressive, she
" physically most conservative. The
leaders of thought fling the most

back and forth over their dinner
tables. but those tables are laden
with large meals cooked after the
exact fashion that they have been
cooked In German Bohemia for the
last 200 years. The good professor
will follow any intellectual concept
that convinces his profoundly logical
mind, but he will stick to his grand.
fathers style Of pie in the face Of all
opposition and Indigestion. Someone
might trace an interesting and in
structive relationship between Ger.
man pie and German pessimism.
The contrast between old manner
and new thought run all through
Jena. Here Is one OF the most
famous of European universities, here
are philosophers and metaphysiciana
of the most daring and radical. and all
about them Is an old picturesque city
whose comfortable burgher class is
quite untouched by all the intellectu
al fireworks that coruscate from the
university grounds.
Jena has all the earmarks OF a
German university towD--the little
knots Of gay capped students, the
creeper covered buildings, the beer
cellars. the gardens, the occasional
digniied and b%lack.clad faculty
member pacing austerely down the
intimate old street. respectfully sa-
luted on every hand. All this studen,
life is overlaid on a solid and pictur.
esQue background Of town life, of com
Portable solid houses, of blue-eyed
middle class maidens, OF cool streets
and flowery gardens.
Jena Is deliberately fond Of gar,
dens. They confront you on every
hand, carefully tended and lushiy
flourishing. They bloom with a Law,
ishness that is perhaps a product OF
the intellectual atmosphere. Jena is
famous for her gardens. her glass
factories, her beer and her great men
Any one of these industries carried &c
the point that they carry it IN Jena
would insure the fame of an ordinary
town.
