[433] The judges of the debate were G. Stanley Hall, President of Clark University; Hon. John R. Thayer, member of Congress, and Professor Charles P. Adams of the Massachusetts State Normal School. President Abercombie of Worcester Academy presided. None of these gentlemen is a Catholic.
[434] The unqualified slurs of President Eliot against the Jesuit colleges were ably refuted by Rev. Timothy Brosnahan, S. J., Professor of Ethics at Woodstock College, Maryland, in his pamphlet: President Eliot and Jesuit Colleges, Messenger Press, New York, p. 36. The reception given to this booklet was remarkable. We refer the reader to a criticism in the Bookman, April 1900, by Professor Peck of Columbia University, N. Y. We quote only one little passage from Prof. Peck’s article: “Altogether we have not in a long time read anything which compacts into so small a compass so much dialectic skill, so much crisp and convincing argument, and so much educational good sense. We hope that President Eliot has been reading this over very carefully himself. He has been so long an autocrat in his own particular microcosm as apparently to make him somewhat careless when he addresses a larger public. In this case he has certainly been evolving argumentative material out of his inner consciousness, in the spirit of the person who first said tant pis pour les faits; and it is just as well that for once in a way he should have been brought up with a good round turn. As the information would probably never reach him from Harvard sources, we may gently convey to him the information that throughout the entire country professional educators, and men and women of cultivation generally, are immensely amused at the cleverness with which his alleged facts and his iridescent theories have been turned into a joke.”

[438] Father Hagen’s Synopsis has been called a “splendid contribution to the history and progress of mathematics,” Nature, London, June 7, 1894; “a colossal enterprise,” Revue Bibliographique Belge, Sept. 30, 1891; “a really grand work,” Professor Cantor, in Zeitschrift für Mathematik und Physik (hist.-lit. Abth.), XXXVII, 4, p. 151. “One must be astonished how one man can master such an amount of learning,” Zeitschrift für math. und naturw. Unterricht, XXVII, p. 43. The American Annals of Mathematics (1893, vol. VII, No. 3) call it a “monumental work” and say: “A more useful labor than this in the present condition of mathematical literature can hardly be imagined; moreover, it calls for all but the very highest, that is creative mathematical power; in particular, for immense erudition; an unerring logical instinct ..., but above all for untiring industry, etc.”—Father Hagen’s Atlas Stellarum Variabilium was also highly praised, v. g. in the Bulletin Astronomique, 1900; in the Vierteljahrsschrift, XXXV; in the Leipzig Litterarische Centralblatt, 1900, No. 4, and 1902, No. 26.

[442] The best recommendation for this work is the fact that the French Ministry of Marine had it immediately translated into French. In 1900 there appeared an English and a German work (Bremen and Shanghai) on the same subject, “based on that of J. Algué,” as the preface has it. But as the name of the author is given that of Professor Bergholz. Now this work—it sounds almost incredible—is nothing but an abridged translation of Father Algué’s work. This has quite recently been pointed out by Professor Nippoldt of the Magnetical Observatory of Potsdam, in Petermann’s Mittheilungen, September 1902. (Kölnische Volkszeitung, Wochenausgabe, Oct. 23, 1902, p. 3.) This is evidently a proof of what we said above, p. 154, note 307.
