ond student body is tho faot that so far the Hochschule is otill
olnoot completely out-off from the sciontifis world outside of
Cernany. The dongers of ouch on isolation ere grave, for it produces
en atmosphere of intellectual oterility which in the Jong Tun would
nean the end of trae scientific research in Cernany. Science oan
only thrive on the soil of mutusl exchange of ideas, and all our
work in rebuilding end rehabilitating our Hochschule would be in
vain, indeod, if it continued to be done in an atoosphere of
intolicotunl isolation
How, muoh of what has been achieved daring tho past two years
coulé not have been done without the kind help and understanding of
Uilitery Government, and we take this opportunity to express our
sinoerest thanks for everything that hes been done on our behalf
by the officers of Military Government, Dut even 00, unless outaide
encouragement and help be forthooning, there are reasons to believe
that ultinately our program of improvisation and self-help will not
be sufficient to cope with the manifold difficulties mentioned above, |
for instead of their improving they have been growing worse during
tho paot fow momths, Thus, deeply concerned with the future of our
Hochschule and its mission, we aro directing an appeal to all those
american Colleges, Universities and Institutes of Technology which
mig give favorable consideration to the idea of adopting Technische
Hochschule Stuttgart, Such a Plan would entail finding ways and means |
of bringing the Hochschule in contact again with the achievenents
of modern scientific research os well as fillinó; those material
requirements necessary to prevent the living standard of faculty
and student body from falling below en existential aininutse
To give this our appeal for help ite proper foundation, it is
considered advisable to draw a comparison between the state the
Hochschule was in at times of normaley and the state we find it in
today, íi.9., between 1950 &end 1947. This way, we believe, will be
the most advantageous for presenting ae objectively as possible the
data necescary for any sponsoring institution in the USA to base ite
aid progras One
