I just finished reading a disturbing book about the Ivy League of information I knew nothing about. This is a story I suspect has been conveniently hidden from the American public. During the 1930’s, at the start of Nazi regime, American universities actively supported the regime. The book that exposes this shameful spectacle is called The Third Reich in the Ivory Tower by Stephen H. Norwood. At the height of Nazi and Fascist Italy, university administrators from Harvard, Columbia, Yale and Princeton made great effort in building a relationship with these two dictatorships. This included: foreign exchange programs, study abroad and inviting Nazi and Fascist party members as guest lecturers.
Please keep in mind, as Norwood footnotes extensively that Nazi totalitarian policies were known to everyone. Antisemitism, collectivism, censorship by book burning, terrorism, and a massive military buildup were on full display. Refugees of Germany were also spreading the word about the nature of Nazism. Catholic universities were also promoting Nazi policies. As a graduate of a Catholic university, I am well aware of antisemitism that infected Christianity for over 2000 years. The Catholic Church handed Nazi Germany the legitimacy it wanted. For example, Norwood states:
A Concordat with the Nazi government signed and announced in July 1933 and ratified in September. This constituted Nazi Germany’s “first great diplomatic triumph.” Pope Pius XI considered the new German regime potentially the Church’s most important ally in the struggle against Communism and secular liberalism, which he perceived as the greatest threats to Christianity. In the Concordat, the German Catholic Church and its bishops swore allegiance to the new Nazi state. The Church also agreed not to participate in politics and to disband the Center (Catholic) party. In exchange, the Church, its religious organizations, and its press were permitted to operate without government interference. (Bold Added)
What really surprised me were the actions of the Seven Sisters universities. These schools included: Vassar(now co-ed), Mount Holyoke, Wellesley College, Smith, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe and Barnard. Along with state sanctioned racism, the Nazi regime forced women out of the universities and professions. As government policy women were effectively turned into breeding cows for the new “Aryan” nation. Yet, the lovely Seven Sisters had no qualms in sending their female students to Nazi Germany in student exchange programs.
The support of the Ivy League does stem from antisemitism. There were quota systems throughout the 1930’s against Jewish students. But the fact that their support Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy would within 10 years send many of their students to die in Europe says a lot about the nature of the American university.
I can’t help but compare the situation today with all universities and the kinds of bad ideas that are taught today. Substitute Nazism and fascism with Islamic totalitarianism–the parallels are unmistakable. It should be no surprise to those who wish to think critically that subjectivism, nihilism, altruism, and collectivism are taught in higher education. When these bad ideas are put into practice, we all see universities such as Columbia University invite Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a guest speaker. Antisemitism is now aggressively outward. This moral relativism can only lead to a disastrous outcome I do not want to accept. In this case, the old adage is true that history has strange way of repeating itself.
