Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tufts College Graduate, Vol. 19: March-May, 1921 As far back as literature runs, the fate of prophets and prophecies has been all but universally the same, the one unheeded, the other only partly true or even altogether false. He is doubly rash, therefore, who ventures to predict the future that must lie beyond so complex a situa tion as that which Europe and America now face, when, even to state fully and clearly the problem that confronts us, is a task of major diffi culty. And yet, there are certain facts involved in the present European crises which stand out clearly upon careful examination, facts which we are all too prone to overlook or undervalue, because they seem either too complex to render understanding possible or too terrible to be true. It is a practice beloved of certain types of writers to date back the genesis of a particular set of phenomena to some definite point of origin, and to say: Here the present situation began, and from this event has it been derived. Unfortunately, investigation usually reveals that there is no one definite and specific origin for any intricate grouping of events, and so it is with the present situation in Europe.
