Our constantly growing international relations will be followed by visits from scholars of every corner of the world. The system, with South America as elsewhere, is inevitable. And a start should be made while the Latin professors, who have in the past looked to Europe for fresh ideas and for visiting lectureships, are still unaccustomed to the conditions caused by the war, and are not settled in their present necessity of staying at home...
