These\u00a0 men had received\u00a0 their\u00a0 advanced education abroad, most of them in German universities&#8211;the world\u2019s leading scholarly institutions at the turn of the century, and were eager to transplant the new form of scholarship they\u00a0 encountered there into their own institutions, In so doing, they hoped to stem the flow of able graduate students abroad and attract them to American universities for advanced study\u00a0 instead. Little did they know that some eighty years later graduate education in\u00a0 the United States would\u00a0 become a much sought after commodity and that students from countries all around the world, including Germany, would flock to American universities for their graduate education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nerad, M., June, R., &amp; Miller, D.
