Excerpt from The Historians and the English Reformation
When Cecil Rhodes looked beyond imperial to racial unity, he saw that it would be of advantage to all if Americans could be brought to live and study in the Mother-land. The writer of this page claims the distinction of having been a kind of Rhodes pilgrim before the Rhodes Scholarships were invented. Led by a gentle and well-wishing influence, he went to seek the advantages of interchange. And these he estimates as the main advantages of interchange: To abominate war between these kindred nations; to diminish prejudice; to promote something like a scheme of reciprocal free trade in institutions and ideals, in scholarship, in traditions, and initiative.
I have, therefore, made a collection and reprint of some results in American historical work which I ask English people to exam ine, and of some English scholarship that I wish to introduce to a large class of my American fellow-citizens.

About the Author:
Andrew Dickson White (1832-1918) did more than any other American to impress upon late nineteenth- and twentieth century thought the idea that science and religion are enemies locked in combat on an almost military scale. In 1849, he entered Geneva College and later enrolled in Yale. After graduating, White joined the University of Michigan as a lecturer in history. He returned to New York and won election to the state senate. Finally, White went on to become the first president and cofounder of Cornell University. He also is the author of books, including Seven Great Statesmen in the Warfare of Humanity with Unreason and a 1906 autobiography.
