Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Schools and Universities in the World War Fortunately such an alternative was at hand in the narrative, amply supported by documentary evidence, of those who had played some part in the conduct of affairs during the War, or who, as close Observers in privileged positions, were able to record from first or at least second-hand knowledge the economic history of different phases of the Great War, and Of its effect upon society. Thus a series of monographs was planned consisting for the most part of unofficial yet authoritative statements, descriptive or historical, which may best be described as about halfway between memoirs and blue-books. These monographs make up the main body of the work assigned so far. They are not limited to contemporary war-time studies; for the economic history of the War must deal with a longer period than that of the actual fighting. It must cover the years of deflation as well, at least sufficiently to secure some fairer measure of the economic displacement than is possible in purely contemporary judgments.
