America to Lead
Postwar World
In Education
European U niversities Will
Require G eneration to
Get Reorganized.
The United States will em erge
from the w ar as the g re at intellectu­
al center of the world, and perhaps
as the principal nation attracting
foreign students to its colleges and
universities.
Four Columbia university profes­
sors predict such a future, a cul­
tural development for America of
the highest significance.
"There is no question.” said Dean
H arry J. C arm an of Columbia col­
lege. "that for a generation or more,
perhaps longer, the United States
will be the great intellectual center
of the world.
"With World War I and m ore p ar­
ticularly World War II and their
devastating effects upon the institu­
tions of learning of the old world,
we have come to realize that we
can no longer depend upon the high­
er institutions of F rance, England
and Germ any as we did during the
19th century.
"U nfortunately for Europe, and
fortunately for the United States, the
w ar has driven some of the finest
minds from Europe to America.
"H arvard, Yale, Columbia. Cali­
fornia and the great state institu­
tions of the Midwest are to the 20th
century what the Sorbonne, the Uni­
versity of Berlin, and Oxford and
Cam bridge w ere to the 19th century.”
Stream of Foreign Students.
Dean R obert D. Calkins of the
Columbia school of business pre­
dicts there will be a continuous
stream of foreign students coming
to this country in the postw ar years,
for the United States “ offers som e­
thing unique in business education.”
“ The A m erican w ar production
record is attracting attention, espe­
cially by the perform ance of our
equipment abroad,” Dean Calkins
said. "The jeep is an outstanding
example. F oreigners want to know
how it is m ade, how they m ight
modify it for use in their own coun­
try. Our autom otive field generally
im presses foreigners. Such things
will play a p art in bringing foreign
students to the United States for
study.”
Dean George B. P egram of the
graduate faculties believes the Unit­
ed States will be one of the leading
nations in higher education to which
students of other lands will come.
This country has the advantage of a
larg er num ber of well-equipped and
well-staffed universities, and on the
whole should have the largest num ­
ber of foreign students, he said.
But at the sam e tim e, such coun­
tries as England, F ran ce, Russia and
the Scandinavian nations will draw
foreign students for outstanding
training in special fields. Language,
Dean P egram said, would seem to
be a b arrier to A m erican students'
studying in R ussia, but the U.S.S.R.
will be very im portant for studies
in the scientific fields.

D iv e r, but H e Escapes
Seabee A. F. Wigel, a navy
diver, was working with five oth­
e r men in Aleutiun w aters, try ­
ing to right a $7,000,000 U. S. ship
Walking on the floor of the ocean,
35 feet from the surface, Wigel's
foot become tangled. He tugged
and pulled, but couldn't shake
loose.
Then he took his long
knife nnd sawed him self free
from an apparently harm less
plant. His captive was n beau­
tiful red plant dotted with brown
specks. It had long tentacles and
in the center was a yellow bud,
the color of a sum m er rose. "My
curiosity got the better of m e,”
he said, "so I found another one
of these plants, picked up a star
fish and dropped it on the yellow
bud. Instantly the plant closed
its arm s over the sta r fish and
devoured it. I was really scared .”
L ater, Wigel learned his cap­
tive was a flesh-eating plant.
Making light of his adventure lat­
er, he grinned:
"Anyway, the
d a m thing would have had to
chew awfully fast to gobble up
