page 128 note * We remark that Georg Cantor (a Jew, born in Russia), is no longer called a “German mathematician,” but referred to Halle, at which German university he lived and died professor. The distinction is a neat one: the Pan-German claim that the geniuses of the world are all or mostly “Germans” is as untenable as the claim of intellectual Germany to be the foster-mother of European intellect is undeniable.
