MANY PROFESSORS FACING
CHARGES OF DISLOYALTY
Member of University of Michigan Faculty Charges Enemy Aliens Are Active
in Colleges of United States.
(By PROF. W. M. HOBBS, of the
University of Michigan.)
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee of the National Security league,
held in New York on February 6, reso
lutions were passed urging upon presi
dents and governing boards of Amer
ican universities and colleges an inquiry
into the loyalty of members tf their
faculties with a view to the removal of
any who are found to be disloyal. Copies
of these resolutions are to be forwarded
to all university presidents and to the
presidents of all alumni organizations.
University instructors whose loyalty
lias been in question, are particularly
; apt to be found teaching the German
language or literature, and though the
greater number are German-American,
it would he a great mistake to assume
i that loyalty is determined by ancestry.
Among the German-American professors
[ teaching German are to be found some
i of the stajnehest patriots, whereas in
other departments than German are men
: whose non-German American citizenship
I extends hack into colonian times, but
| who are ns much the kaiser’s aids as
those marchin; with his army. All tests
of loyalty should therefore be based
upon words and deeds alone.
One reason for the concentration of
disloyalty within the German depart
ment of our American universities, is
that now for a number of years it has
been in vogue to teach German through
the realien or the anschau-ungsptinkt,
that is to say, the German way of look
ing at things, or, in plain language,
kultur. This has been reflected in the
newer 10x18 now in use and in the in
creased propaganda which has been con
ducted outside as well as inside the uni
versity by professors in the German de
partment. Such propaganda has had
for its special objects a stimulation of
tlie continued use of German by our
German immigrants and their descend
ants, and the emphasizing of the su
periority of German ideals and methods
to those of this country.
i no in t in on s or conducting suen
propaganda, familiar to those who have
watched it from state universities in the
middle west, have been for the German
professor to arrange for lectures on
some special German topic, or merely
I German culture, where possible in the
German language; und to a very large
extent ,tlie Lutheran pastors and Cath
olic priests in charge of German paroch
ial schools have been the coadjutors in
this movement. In one state in which
the Sons of the American Revolution
was presided over by a pacifist, this
state organization has been extensively
i used for German propaganda through
making the head of the German propa
ganda in the state the “state manager
of Americanization movement.”
I'ro-Gerinan activities within our uni
versities assumed entirely different
I character with our own entry info the
war. Before we had declared that a
state of war existed with Germany,
some professors were most outspoken
in their German sympathies, and freely
made use of their class rooms to con
duct German propaganda. Our govern
ment was discredited for not having put
an embargo upon the shipment of mu
nitions; the rape of Belgium was de
fended; ami German superiority and ef
ficiency were extolled. Those bold spirits
among their students who dared offer
defense of the allied countries, did so
at the risk of being marked down in
scholarship. It is freely reported of
one professor that he sold tickets in his
class room for the lecture given by the
kaiser's special representative in this
country, and indirectly he made attend
ance compulsory by announcing a writ
ten test on the ideas presented by the
lecturer.
A considerable number of professors
who are now alien enemies through their
German citizenship, are still in their
places, though they are notoriously anti
American, and if they are not now
preaching kultur, it is because they are
cowed by the atmosphere in which they
find themselves. One such professor
upon his frank statement has refused
since the beginning of the war to read
any American newspaper, and continues
to draw his inspiration from his New
Yorker Staatszeitung.
Americans need to be reminded that
when the time was drawing near for the
launching of this war, Germany passed
the infamous Delbrueck law, which al
lowed Germans domiciled in foreign
countries to become naturalized there
while retaining their allegiance to Ger
many. This has been a balm for base
minds, and has greatly facilitated the
operation of German spies and agents
generally.
A naturalized German-American pro
fessor in one of our great universities
frequently prints in our popular maga
zines, papers written in a scholarly
manner and with the affectation of
great reserve, but in a recent article in
Harper's Magazine be has described
Germany’s government as a rule by ex
perts, “supervised by popular assem
blies.’’ Such a statement from this
source does far more mischief than
books issued by Munsterbergs and von
Machs. In an elementary German text
entitled '’Im Yatcrland,” still widely
used in our schools and colleges, there
is a poem by this professor which in -he
preface readers are advised to commit
to memory. This poem begins with che
following stanza (translation):
ueruiuuy oi ail my cunuren
None love thee so much as we,
We that be far from thee,
Germans across the sea.”
It is a wholesome symptom of an in
creasing national consciousness that this
text with its laudation of kaiser and
fatherland, a book shaped by German
professors in Germany for American !
usage, has been thrown out of many of
our schools.
In at least one university where a
United Stages aviation school is located,
the federal government has not waited j
for the university authorities to act, but i
has required that alien enemies be re- j
moved from the faculties of the institu*
tion. Other universities, such as Colum
bia, Michigan and Minnesota, have upon
their own initiative made a begirinuig !
and removed the most objectionable of'
their disloyal professors. Generally, j
however, it is true that the larger num- j
her still remain, keeping more or less
aloof from their surroundings, and be- 1
ing shunned by their American col- 1
leagues.
