REFUGE FOR SCHOLARS

Since Hitler began driving the best
brains out of Germany through per-
secution or fear of lit, artists and
others representing the highest culture
have sought refuge in America. AS
Naz1 oppression has been extended to
ether countries, many of their most
capable scholars in various fields
have come here also.
By this month, the committee in
Aid of Displaced Foreign Scholars had
already helped to bring about ZOO
eminent Europeans to the United
States. but some $500 more were on
it's waiting list.
Perhaps the most famous German to
come to our shores as result OF his
hatred of Hitlerism is DR., Einsteln
of relatively fame, who recently be
came an American citizen. Almost as
famous is German-born Thomas Mann,
the author, who will shortly complete
his American naturalization. Both Elm
stein and Mann are Nobel prize win
ners.
Heinrich Bruning, former German
chancellor, is now teacher at Har-
ward; Physicist James Franck, another
Nobel prize winner, is a professor at
the University of Chicago, as is former
President Eduard Benes of Czech
oslovakia The long list of refugees In
clude virtually the cream of former
European scholarship.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1940-09-05

Some fear has been expressed that
this influx of foreign-born scholars
might tend to displace American edu,
Gators, but in most cases special prof.
essorships have been provided for the
eminent refugees.
