the witness stand in his own defense
in Jhe state university loyalty in

and his opposition to the aloofness
displayed by many . German-Americans,
Prof. Grumann read excerpts
from his own publications during the
last quarter century.
Prof., Gruniaiin admitted that at the
beginning of the war in 1914 he had
pleaded for calmer judgment of the
actions of Germany. Although the
sinking of the 'Lusitania had made
him heartsick, he said, he had spoken
in favor of delayed judgment. Some
months betorc America entered the
war his attitude had begun to change
and he had ceased his activity in
favor of Germany, which had never
been more than a position opposed
to Russian autocracy, he insisted.

mann's loyalty was offered by Misses
Gertrude Moore and Alice Howell,
instructors, and by Miss Geraldine
Martin, student. Miss Moore told how
she had congratulated Prof. Gru
mann on a public statement of his
loyalty, which he had made in April,

is exactly where I have always stood,
but sometimes it is well to put your
self on record."

his own behalf, asserted he was ultra
