GERMAN SCIENCE

A TRAGEDY More than two thousand scientists and professors, in German universities have been; forced to emigrate from the country since the seizure of power by the fascists. Six of the ten Gef-

man professors who have won ihe Nobel prize in physics have been deprived of their chairs. All five Nobel

prize winners in medicine are in emi-

gration. German universities are now laying chief emphasis on military sciences,

on “moulding the will and character

of Germany's future soldiers,” as the

rector of Frankfurt University put it. The teaching of international law has been abolished. i The works of even the greatest i scientists remain unsold for several years, though an edition is comprised: of only two or three hundred cop es. The fascist journal “Die Bank” has had to admit that “there is no longer a demand for scientific literature in modern Germany.” —“lnternational Literature,” June, 1939.
