Universities and Scientific Life in the United States

Abstract

BEFORE the war inter-university exchange of professors was much in vogue as between Germany and America. More recently several exchanges of this kind have taken place between America and France, and Prof. Caullery's book is a result—a very useful result—of one of these exchanges. It gives a remarkably lucid and sympathetic interpretation of impressions received by the writer during a stay of five months in America in 1916, when he filled the post of exchange professor of biology at Harvard and visited many of the principal seats of learning in the United States.

By Prof. Maurice Caullery. Translated by James H. Woods and Emmet Russell. Pp. xvii + 269. (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1922.) 10s. 6d. net.
