1918). See also E. Bourgeois, La frontihrc orientate du royaume de
Belgique, in Travaux du Comiti eTEtudes, ii. For Luxemburg in
general, see Miss Ruth Putnam, Luxemburg and her Neighbors, with

Scheldt is summarized by A. Rotsaert, L'Escaut depuis le traiti de
Munster (Brussels and Paris, 1918); numerous documents in
Guillaume, L'Escaut dermis 1830 (Brussels, 1903). For a Dutch view,
see Den Beer Poortugael, La neutralitt sur l'Escaut (The Hague,
1911). For this question at Paris, cf. Cammaerts and Geyl in The
New Europe, July 31 and August 14, 1919. On Belgian neutrality and
the treaties of 1839, see F. L. Warrin, Jr., The Neutrality of

ALSACE-LORRAINE The fate of Alsace-Lorraine was, in general, a
problem of the war rather than of the Peace Conference. Nothing had
done more, in President Wilson's phrase, "to unsettle the peace of
the world for nearly fifty years"; nothing was more earnestly
discussed throughout the World War; nothing was settled more simply
and quickly once the war was over. The completeness of the Allied
victory and the immediate evacuation of Alsace-Lorraine required by
the terms of the armistice left no doubt of the return of the lost
provinces to France. The Peace Conference had only to determine
certain necessary details. "The territories which were ced...
At the time of its publication in 1923, Charles Homer Haskins' The
Rise of Universities was considered remarkable for its erudition,
succinctness, and balance. The his-torian Theodor Mommsen described
it as "a work which has remained unsurpassed in the conciseness and
vividness of its account." Eight decades after its appearance, it
remains fresh and informative. It has not been surpassed, and is as
invaluable as ever. Haskins traces the rise of the mediaeval
university as one phase of the intellectual awakening in Europe in
the late Middle Ages, in an effort to broaden our understanding of
"the ancient and universal company of scholars." In the depth and
breadth of its analysis, there is no better portrait of
universities during their infancy in the Middle Ages. With great
detail and preci-sion, Haskins describes the university's
curriculum, teaching, teachers, and students. Drawing deeply on his
knowledge as one of the leading mediaeval scholars of his day, he
provides an exceptionally vivid picture of student life of tht
time, through his analysis of their manuals, letters, and poetry.
The Rise of Universities goes far beyond its central subject to
offer a broad description of the social conditions in which
universities took root and flourished. At the same time, one cannot
read Haskins without seeing the influences of the mediaeval
university on contemporary institutions of higher learning. The
Rise of Universities reminds us that the univer-sity has not only
been a crucible fostering intellectual inquiry and creativity, but
continues after eight hundred years to be a center of teaching and
learning. In his new introduction, Lionel S. Lewis develops
Haskins' passing observation that "the university of the twentieth
cen-tury is the lineal descendant of mediaeval Paris and Bologna,"
and considers the question of why universities came into being at
the particular time in history when they did. The Rise of the
Universities will be of interest to educators and students who wish
to better understand the institutions in which they have lived,
taught, and been taught.

"The republication of Charles Homer Haskins' "The Rise of
Universities" is cause for celebration among historians of higher
education and among medievalists of all disciplines...Haskins'
argument is a powerful one: that today's university system is a
direct (and immediate) descendent of the collections of scholars
who gathered around master teachers in the great cities of Europe
during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries... His] thesis was
profound for its time and remains the guiding interpretation of
medieval universities." --"Library Quarterly"
