Of Huns and Guns
摘要
In this chapter, I examine the introduction of German into the university curriculum, highlighting its rise and precipitous decline. I also explore the role of the German-language press in the debate over the propagation of Deutschtum, as well as the response of the English-language press to this controversial cultural artifact. Finally, I focus on the academy’s response to German instruction and instructors within the larger discourses of nationalism, xenophobia and constitutional guarantees in wartime.
