HAILS WEANING OF AMERICAN THOUGHT FROM MOTHER EUROPE

"Harvard University has been the first among American colleges and universities to export American philosophy into the fields of European thinking."

This statement was the keynote of the address last night by Professor Ludwig Stein of the University of Berne to the Philosophical Club on "The Influence of Harvard University's Philosophy on European Philosophy."

"We are accustomed to look upon the new world as a philosophical colony of the old world", said Professor Stein. "But just as this former English colony freed itself from its mother-country, so again the American spirit begins in right earnest not only to demand its intellectual equality and recognition of its having come of age but also to claim a certain leadership."

He was especially warm in his praise of William James, Josiah Royce and Hugo Munsterberg.
