This is the first systematic exploration of the nature and extent
of sympathy for Nazi Germany at American universities during the
1930s. Universities were highly influential in shaping public
opinion and many of the nation s most prominent university
administrators refused to take a principled stand against the
Hitler regime. Universities welcomed Nazi officials to campus and
participated enthusiastically in student exchange programs with
Nazified universities in Germany. American educators helped Nazi
Germany improve its image in the West as it intensified its
persecution of the Jews and strengthened its armed forces. The
study contrasts the significant American grass-roots protest
against Nazism that emerged as soon as Hitler assumed power with
campus quiescence, and administrators frequently harsh treatment of
those students and professors who challenged their determination to
maintain friendly relations with Nazi Germany.
