Many subjects of general interest to those in academic life can be treated on a smaller scale than the full-dress article, yet merit more attention than might be given to them were they to be raised in the traditional form of a letter to the editor. The Bulletin welcomes such contributions to this section.

In 1918 Thorsten Veblen was serving as a statistical expert for the Food Administration. In this capacity he prepared a report demonstrating that the shortage of farm labor in the Midwest could be met by ending the harassment and persecution of the members of the IWW's agricultural division. Veblen felt he was doing the best that could be expected of him as an intellectual expert in devoting his scholarly talents to the reaching of a workable solution to a social problem. The result of this particular application of expertise led to his being fired for his efforts. On the other hand, a large number of "loyal" academics, drawn from the faculties of the nation's leading universities, were so busy converting their expertise into uncritical support of the Great Crusade that it was difficult to place restraint on their service. As Carol S. Gruber, author of this revealing study of the uses of American higher learning in World War I points out, this development, which tied strongly into an American tradition of public education's duty to provide service to the state, was seized upon as a useful and exciting opportunity by many academics to play a role they had long coveted. As one of them, Ralph Barton Perry, was to write after the war, there was a certain euphoria "in expending one's energy with undivided conscience and with the approval of one's fellows" (p. 115). It afforded a new sense of scope and power, and was a form of war service "almost as good as being at the front itself." On the other hand, this quest for purpose and "reality" outside campus walls suggests a view of the early-twentieth-century American university itself and the academic profession as lacking in purpose and being societally peripheral. In this respect the professors' response to the war may well have been an attempted escape from alienation and role frustration in an academic world suffering at that time from a disturbing plethora of both insecurity and anomie.
1918年,托斯滕·凡勃伦(Thorsten Veblen)担任食品管理局的统计专家。在这个职位上,他准备了一份报告,证明中西部农业劳动力短缺的问题可以通过结束对IWW农业部门成员的骚扰和迫害来解决。凡勃伦觉得,作为一个知识分子专家,他把自己的学术才能投入到一个社会问题的可行解决方案中去,这是他所能做的最好的事情。这种特殊的专业知识应用的结果导致了他的努力被解雇。另一方面,大批从全国一流大学的院系中挑选出来的“忠诚的”学者正忙着把他们的专业知识转化为对“伟大的十字军东征”不加批判的支持,因此很难对他们的服务加以限制。卡罗尔·s·格鲁伯(Carol S. Gruber)撰写了一篇关于美国高等教育在第一次世界大战中的作用的发人深市的研究报告。她指出,这一发展与美国公共教育为国家提供服务的传统紧密相关,许多学者抓住了这一有益而令人兴奋的机会,发挥了他们长期渴望的作用。正如他们中的拉尔夫·巴顿·佩里(Ralph Barton Perry)在战后所写的那样,有一种特定的欣快感,“以坚定的良心和同伴的认可来消耗自己的能量”(第115页)。它提供了一种新的范围和力量,是一种“几乎和在前线一样好”的战争服务形式。另一方面,这种对校园外目标和“现实”的追求表明,20世纪初的美国大学本身和学术职业缺乏目标,在社会上处于边缘地位。在这方面,教授们对战争的反应很可能是试图摆脱当时学术界的疏离感和角色挫折感,当时学术界正遭受着令人不安的不安全感和反常现象的困扰。
