\u201cGermany\u2019s dark side is its civil service – and German professors and top university administrators are all civil servants\u201d- 7<\/p>\n
\u201cThe military court in La Spezia. This is where the murder trial of SS officer Hans Schiffmann began two months ago. Schiffman belonged to the \u2018Reichsfuehrer SS,\u2019 the 16th SS Armored Infantry Division, a unit that left a trail of blood across Italy. Its victims included thousands of civilians.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe relatives of Hans Schiffmann\u2019s victims have come to La Spezia today. They are hoping for belated justice. The accused, however, has not appeared in court. Under German law, he cannot be extradited to Italy against his will.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201eDas Milit\u00e4rgericht von La Spezia. Hier begann vor zwei Monaten der Mord-Prozess gegen den ehemaligen SS-Offizier Hans Schiffmann. Schiffmann geh\u00f6rte zur 16.

Stauffenberg is honored in Germany today, but he was for a long time after the war — like Thomas Mann, Marlene Dietrich, every deserter from the Wehrmacht, and so many other Germans — regarded with contempt and widely considered to be a traitor to his country. I wonder how he would have been treated at a place like the Technical University of Munich.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harvard: the View from Germany – 18<\/p>\n
\u201cCooney knows the way German universities operate, and he understands that the principles that govern top American universities cannot simply be transplanted across the Atlantic. Certainly the dream of creating a German Harvard overnight is completely unrealistic. Cooney remembers the anecdote about nineteenth-century railroad baron Leland Stanford. Before founding the university that now bears his name, Stanford visited then Harvard President Charles Eliot and asked what was needed to build a world-class university. \u2018Twenty million dollars,\u2019 Eliot replied. \u2018Oh, that\u2019s no problem,\u2019 said Stanford. \u2018And about a hundred years,\u2019 Eliot added. Cooney lets the words sink in before he mischievously drives home the point: \u2018Sometimes of course it doesn\u2019t take that long. Stanford did it in seventy.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Harvard: von Deutschland aus gesehen – 18<\/p>\n
\u201eCooney kennt den deutschen Studienbetrieb und daher wei\u00df er, dass sich das Konzept amerikanischer Top-Universit\u00e4ten nicht einfach verpflanzen l\u00e4sst. Und \u00fcber Nacht ist der Traum von einem deutschen Harvard schon gar nicht zu verwirklichen. Cooney f\u00e4llt dazu eine Anekdote \u00fcber Leland Stanford ein, den kalifornischen Eisenbahnbaron des 19. Jahrhunderts. Bevor er die nach ihm benannte Hochschule gr\u00fcndete, erkundigte er sich bei dem damaligen Harvard-Pr\u00e4sidenten Charles Eliot, was man denn f\u00fcr eine Weltklasse-Universit\u00e4t brauche. \u201aZwanzig Millionen Dollar\u2019, erwiderte Eliot. \u201aOk, kein Problem\u2019, meinte Stanford. \u201aUnd etwa hundert Jahre Zeit\u2019, f\u00fcgte Eliot hinzu. Cooney l\u00e4sst die Worte wirken, bevor er schelmisch die Pointe pr\u00e4sentiert: \u2018Manchmal geht es freilich auch schneller. Stanford hat es schon in 70 Jahren geschafft.\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n

Harvard: the View from Germany – 17<\/p>\n
\u201cJames Cooney, for example, is proud of his Harvard class, the Class of 69, and not only because former Vice-President Gore or actor Tommy Lee Jones were his classmates. He takes a book down from a shelf, reverently, a book that in size and format resembles a bible. It is the yearbook that contains all of the information about the members of his Harvard class. It is revised and reissued every ten years. \u2018Somehow, people always stay in touch,\u2019 he says.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201eJames Cooney zum Beispiel ist stolz auf seinen Jahrgang, die \u201aClass of 69\u2019, und das nicht nur, weil Ex-Vizepr\u00e4sident Al Gore oder der Schauspieler Tommy Lee Jones seine Kommilitonen waren.

Harvard: the View from Germany – 16<\/p>\n
\u201cKatja Zelljadt agrees, and she draws another parallel: \u2018In England, at Oxford and Cambridge, an \u201cold boy\u201d network used to develop that was dominated by the upper class. Harvard develops a similar global network of people who are at the top of their field, people of knowledge, ability, and achievement.\u2019 As former students, these individuals remain connected not only to each other, but also to their university, all their lives. This connection encourages generous gifts and donations to the university. Libraries, lecture halls, laboratories, museums, and academic chairs are named after those who provide funding for them. These people identify with their university in the same way that in other places fans identify with an athletic team, for a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harvard: von Deutschland aus gesehen – 16<\/p>\n
\u201eKatja Zelljadt sieht das genauso, und sie zieht eine andere Parallele: \u201aDie englischen Elite-Unis von Oxford und Cambridge haben ein Old-Boys-Network geschaffen, das von der Oberklasse dominiert war; Harvard schafft ein globales Network der Eliten, das von Wissen, K\u00f6nnen und Leistung bestimmt ist.\u2019 Und diese ehemaligen Studenten bleiben ihr Leben lang nicht nur einander, sondern auch ihrer Hochschule verbunden, nicht zuletzt als gro\u00dfherzige M\u00e4zene und Spender. Bibliotheken, H\u00f6rs\u00e4le, Labore, Museen und Lehrst\u00fchle sind nach diesen Stiftern benannt, die sich zeit ihres Lebens auf eine derart intensive Weise mit ihrer Hochschule identifizieren, wie man es andernorts nur von den Fan-Clubs eines Sportvereins kennt.\u201c<\/p>\n
