Excerpt from The War as Viewed at the University: Selections From Addresses and Papers by Members of the Teaching Staff During the Summer of 1917 The invasion of Belgium was such a clear case of inter national crime that the sympathies of many neutrals, includ ing our own country, were at once aroused.

The American consciousness of the Monroe doctrine and the general aversion to mixing in European affairs - the counter-part of the Monroe doctrine - were doubtless the chief factors in restraining us from war. The large numb-er of American citizens of German birth or Ger man descent and the respect of many Americans for the achievements of German civilization were further restraining factors.
