Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Historic Role of France Among the Nations: An Address Delivered at the University of Chicago, October 18, 1904
A list has been drawn up of well-known men of the thirteenth century, and later, who belonged to the University of Paris either as teachers or as students; the greatest names in the history of the church and of mediaeval thought are found in this list. We may note, to be sure, that the greatest names are not French names: Albert, a German; St. Bona venture and St. Thomas, Italians; Roger Bacon and Duns Scotus, Englishmen, etc. But what of that? The fact remains that the reputation of France in science, some Six or seven hundred years ago, was as great as its renown in art and literature and in material achievement.
