New York reports Dr. Edward A. Stein er, sociology professor at Grinnell College, Grinnell Iowa, stirs with epigrams on campus. The piece notes education clashes with snobbery as a social force in academic settings.
Dr Steiner argues education fuels snobbery and prejudice on college campuses, intensifying class consciousness rather than enlightening minds. He notes university clubs rival social clubs in influence, while education provides information without illumination amid immigrant discussions.
Dr Steiner spoke on assisting foreign-born Americans to understand institutions. He warned that amid calls for Americanization the immigrant may see only flaws in the US, and urged balanced views and critical use of slogans in shaping public opinion. He criticized war propaganda and warned against homogenized views across society.
A provocative excerpt rails at political leadership and immigrant rights, claiming New York desires a governor to become president while Indiana faces governors in the penitentiary and under indictment. The text argues the immigrant must understand the constitution through printed word and examples to avoid decline.
The readable fragment discusses Calvinists and the idea of damnation by predestination. It mentions non-elects, Alpines and Mediterran origins, and a Nordic connection. The passage is incomplete but points to historical debates on election and regional identity.
