THE AMERICAN-SC AN DIN AVIAN REVIEW 
Norwegian students were conservative in their political opinions, but 
the World War and the revolutions in Germany and Russia have 
worked a change. The radical ideas of our time have found many 
adherents in student circles, and even Bolshevism has its representa¬ 
tives. One factor in changing the prevailing point of view has been 
disappointment that the peace at Versailles was not the peace of 
justice which many had hoped for. The radicalism of our students is, 
of course, not clarified, and yet we may say that its deepest source is an 
idealism which the nation can not but rejoice at seeing in its young 
men and women. 
Where Denmark Teaches Agriculture 
By Raphael Meyer 
While the science which constitutes the foundation of agriculture 
in practically all other countries is pursued and taught at a number 
of special institutions such as veterinary schools, agricultural high 
schools and forestry schools, or finds a home at a university, it is char¬ 
acteristic of Denmark, the most typical agricultural country in Eu¬ 
rope, that she has gathered all these branches into one independent 
institution, the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural College. There 
the Danish veterinary surgeons, cadastral surveyors, and foresters re¬ 
ceive their education, and there the highest instruction is given in all 
subjects pertaining to agriculture and horticulture. Graduates in 
agriculture and horticulture on leaving the school find employment, 
for instance, in the agricultural administration, but chiefly as leaders 
of experimental research and advisers to the co-operative agricultural 
societies so highly developed in Denmark. Furthermore, they find 
employment as teachers at the elementary agricultural and horticul¬ 
tural schools, and of late to no small extent as stewards of large estates. 
The original nucleus of this complex of scientific schools was the 
Veterinary College, which is almost as old as the science of veterinary 
itself. The College was established in the year 1773, and all the other 
branches of instruction subsequently became associated with it when 
they were ripe for scientific treatment. 
Just as all studies at this College aim at one common goal, the 
development and utilization of the natural resources of Denmark, so 
they are all based upon one common foundation, science and its ap¬ 
plication. Therefore the various classes all commence with a course 
in general science, mathematics, physics, meteorology, chemistry, geol¬ 
ogy, botany, and zoology, though with a differentiation which from
