TY - JOUR T1 - WAr, science and civilization., Y1 - 1919/08/09 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1919.02610320065030 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 441 EP - 442 VL - 73 IS - 6 N2 - This book, written in 1915, reflects the views of a certain number of college and university teachers in the early years of the war. Two statements on the first page would probably not be made today, even by a biologic student of warfare. "It is incumbent on the people of our country to give more heed to one of Germany's claims than so far we have given. We must grant that she deserves 'more room in the sunshine' than she has." The verdict of the civilized world today is that Germany has forfeited any claims she might have had to a "room in the sunshine" and that she deserves principally a protracted period of repentance and restitution. The other statement is: "We gladly recognize that the good Germany has done mankind generally by cultivating the sciences and arts of peace outweighs the harm she has done in promoting war."
