No attempt is made to treat the subject exhaustively or systematically. For example, the line of descent from the Mediseval University of Parls to seventeenth century Harvard is not described, nor is there any discussion...
...politics, by the pressure of military authorities who believed in the possibility of victory until 1918, by von Tirpitz, who spread exaggerated reports of the effectiveness of submarine warfare, Bernstorff was compelled to improvise in delaying U. S. entry into the War. With the sinking of the Lusitania, his mission lost ground steadily. After the U. S. broke off diplomatic relations with Germany, he became Ambassador to Turkey, returned home when the German armies collapsed, later represented Germany at the League of Nations, retired in 1931 after 50 years of diplomatic service. Opposed to the present German Government, he considers...
