Harvard and Bonn
By Professor Frledrlch Dernberg. -
' a - PRUSSIAN prince at an American
I - university- Hamlet at Wltten
M bent? - Just , the opposite. The
' at V Danish ; prince j has vldently
- strengthened bis lovd of pondering
and his melancholy, tendencies, while
bis German colleague Is sent to Harvard
to have his yea opened to the practical
aide of life. Ther Is something youth
fully attractive In ; the kaiser's plan,
something which proves Wa faith In the
future an old civilisation that wants
to draw fresh strength from a new. .
A comparison between the. mode of
life of American and German students
must force Itself upon the young prince.
The German principle is ss much seclu
sion as powlblej the American Jot the
opposite. Which one of these principles
Is rav In harmony with the spirit of
the times T ' Which of them makes a
man more fit to enter Into public Ufa?
It is the participation of the masses
In political and public life which is the
most characteristic sign of our time. It
la on of the most Important of all tasks
to get the people to take an Interest In
public affaire. ' '
To bring about this interest should
be the object of every one who desires
to participate ' In the molding of our
political destinies. American college life
lays an excellent foundation In a man,
and a prince might , well rejoice to be
allowed to take part In It. v
At a single glance on get a very
good idea of life at Harvard. Comrade
ship and equality are th keynote of
It . The, students have everything in
common; they eat together In the gi
gantic dining-rooms, walk together rom
the table to the large athletic field and
meet regularly in the large halls for
the cut-nose of dcbatlnar auestlons of
vital interest, economic or political.
There Is absoluts equality, no eaate
system 1 her, and If a student beoaas
prominent he becomes ao only ' throuch
genius or effort. It is at colleges of
tnis aina mat political and solentino
leaders, officers of the great army1 of
How very different from this Is th
Hfe of the students at German colleges!
The first thing a German' student does
Is to - Join a narrow circle and to cut
himself off from - all communication
with everybody - outside this ;. circle.
Those from the same part of the coun
try sues togemer, tnose wno are equal
socially form their own association, Any
nna vha m nutaldn tha - nnrrtim lrela ia
considered an adversary, and the men
sur Is the .readiness for war of all
against all. The whole student life is
regulated on the basis of . the "Knelp
gemelnscbsf t" The erown prince. I am
told, was disgusted with Bonn for this
reason. His brother will have different
experiences, for ther oare no greater
oon treats than Harvard and Bonn.
Harvard Is, besides, totally abstinent,
though police news - from Boston show
on that the young people know where
to satisfy their craving for liquor. One
professor of natural history, a genuine
child of Berlin, pretended to' need it foe
scientific purposes. -- - - --i
German college ' life ' is surrounded
with' a halo of poetry, which one does
not find -to America, put many German
college customs are nevertheless begin
ning to be adopted in America. It is
not without Importance to the relations
between the two countries, that the man
who dominates political Ufa as no other
American statesman has ever done be
for him- President Roosevelt I mean,
of course Is an open admirer of and
believer In the- poetry of German col
lege life, for ther is no doubt, that this
has made him popular in Germany. .
-- Should he then really be sent , to
America, It will be no less important to
th young prince to study at close. range
this remarkable man -and his relations
with nis people than to make .a com
parison between Harvard and Bonn. The
president Is an -example of the kind 'of
men American universities turn out.
It so happens that the heads of the
three great German lo nations William
II, Edward VII and Roosevelt, sre the
most prominent: men in' th political
arena. . A comparison of their charac
ters, their actions, their motives and
their influence-upon their people will
form the most Interesting cart .of ths
history of our time. .
All of them are still In full activity,
and whatever may be said of them now
Can enly be fragmentary: their end
muat have com before thev should be
Judged. Roosevelt, however, has prob
ably passed the sanim of Us activity.
H seems unshakably opposed to a third
term, and his - deeda may :. soon be
summed p. ;'.
It is pleasing- to the humanitarian to
be able to say that Roosevelt owes his
great popularity to th fact that he Is a
type of what 1 best in ' the American
nation. This Is as flattering to th
president as to the American people.
Both people and president have, of
course, their shortcomings, and possibly
thsy feel so much more closely drawn
to each other as even these are iden
tical. - - "
Roosevelt Instincts lean toward all
that Is clean, good, sound and honest
This Is shown in his private life aa in I
his politics. , H has an intense hatred
of all that la corrupt, dishonest and
false, and, though hla Impulsive char
acter may ' sometimes lead him to go
too far, he has had a beneficial Influ
ence .-upon America's whole moral tem
perature. He is a man. In whom there
Is nothing feminine, nothing conceited.
Roosevelt' has something of the auto
crat In his character, something that
tastes of absolutism. He has never been
a .member of congress, and . h -cares
little when he occasionally step on the
corns of a 'senator or representative. A
presldsnt may do many things which In
a king would lead to violent conflicts,
for, fee, luuwwcjtfxed hU..po.wejr direst;
-Jt r.:A.:-'AA .t ' ? r -ti
from th people, and th and of hi term
when he must retire to private life Is
near.
All this may give a German prtnc In
America iooa xor tnougnt.
