Excerpt from A History of Classical Scholarship, Vol. 3: The Eighteenth Century in Germany, and the Nineteeth Century in Europe and the United States of America Die Bahn ist breit genug, um vielen Bewerbern urn den Preis neben einander Raum zu geben; darum ivollen wir nicht nur neidlos, sondern auch mit dankbarer Anerkennung den Leistungen unserer auswartigen Mitkampfer gerecht werden. Une renaissance des etudes classiques s'est manifestee chez nous. Elle se distingue par Palliance des qualitls franfaises de clart'e et de mithode avec la solidite de Perudition et la connaissance des travaux itrangers. This century is the first since the revival of learning in which a serious challenge has been thrown down to the defenders of the humanistic tradition. But I think it will be found that the position of humanism in this country at the close of the century is much stronger than it ivas at the beginning. European scholars... find that they have to count with a new factor and have to recognize in our philological work a national stamp.
