Excerpt from Universities and Scientific Life, in the United States His book is based on observations and impressions which I gathered during a stay of five months in the United States. As a' biologist, I describe the university landscape above all from the scientific and more specially from the biological point of view, but with the design of making the whole of it understood and of setting it into the gen eral framework of contemporary American society. During the second half-year of 1915 - 16, I had the honor of being Exchange Professor at Harvard Univer sity. And my first word here must be to affirm, once more, the very great utility of exchanges of professors between French and American universities. They are among the most efficacious means of helping the two countries to know, esteem and aid one another. The great mass cannot cross the Atlantic; but if the educa tors of youth have done so, they may help to dissipate many prejudices. They are almost bound, it seems to me, not to keep to themselves the experience acquired, however incomplete their Observations may Often be. That is what has determined me to write the following pages. I wish that they may make better known in France an aspect of American democracy, which is not that under which we are most commonly led to look at it, and also that they may emphasize the efforts which the immediate consequences of the war imperiously oblige us to make without delay.

American College Course (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from American College Course The world beneath us, the world about us, the world above na - this is the general subject of the lessons in the present volume. How interesting the subject is, the les sons themselves will prove. Many people suppose that it is necessary to attend col lege in order to obtain a knowledge of science. This is a very erroneous notion. Some of the foremost men of science the world has known were never at college. The same thing is true of hundreds and thousands of other people who have had great love for scientific study. For successful scientific study the first requisite is a heart in sympathy with Nature; the next is an observing mind; the next is a determination to make the most of one's own opportunities, whatever these may be. The lessons in this volume are intended for people whose opportunities for scientific study are only such as lie open to every one. To every one the great world of out-door life is a freely accessible book. With that book, and with such practical help as these lessons will afford, very considerable progress in scientific study can be accomplished.
