AUSTRIAN PROFESSOR DECLARES FRANZ JOSEPH WAS A FAILURE

"Although an eminently fine man, historically the late Franz Joseph was a failure", declared Dr. Alfred P. Pribram, professor of modern history at the University of Vienna, at an address last night to the History Club at Conant Hall. He pointed out that the young emporer, on coming into power in 1848, might have won out over the Magyars, but missed the opportunity of developing Austria into a united states because of his great desire to lead instead of help, and because of his concern over petty details of the present instead of foresight.
