True, this culture is without the erudition of those establishments, but assumes nevertheless the mien of a sovereign; so that, for example, Gutzkow the novelist might be pointed to as the best example of a modern public school boy turned æsthete. Such a degenerate man of culture is a serious matter, and it is a horrifying spectacle for us to see that all our scholarly and journalistic publicity bears the stigma of this degeneracy upon it. TRUE THIS CULTURE IS WITHOUT THE ERUDITION OF THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS BUT ASSUMES NEVERTHELESS THE MIND OF A SOVEREIGN SO THAT FOR EXAMPLE GUTSKOW THE NOVELIST MIGHT BE APPOINTED TO AS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF A MODERN PUBLIC SCHOOLBOY TURNED AESTI SUCH A DEGENERATE MAN OF CULTURE IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND IT IS A HORRIFYING SPECTACLE FOR US TO SEE THAT ALL OUR SCHOLARLY AND JOURNALISTIC PUBLICITY BEARS THE STIGMA OF THIS DEGENERACY UPON IT
 and friends of that pseudo-culture of the present time, which I so greatly detest, will only too frequently find among them such degenerate and shipwrecked men of culture, driven by inward despair to violent enmity against culture, when, in a moment of desperation, there was no one at hand to show them how to attain it. It is not the worst and most insignificant people whom we afterwards find acting as journalists and writers for the press in the metamorphosis of despair: the spirit of some well-known men of letters might even be described, and justly, as degenerate studentdom. How else, for example, can we reconcile that once well-known 'young Germany' with its present degenerate successors? Here we discover a need of culture which, so to speak, has grown mutinous, and which finally breaks out into the passionate cry: I am culture! There, before the gates of the public schools and universities, we can see the culture which has been driven like a fugitive away from these institutions. SURVEYS THE GREAT SUPPORTERS AND FRIENDS OF THAT PSEUDO CULTURE AT THE PRESENT TIME WHICH I SO GREATLY DETEST WILL ONLY TOO FREQUENTLY FIND AMONG THEM SUCH DEGENERATE AND SHIPWRECKED MEN OF CULTURE DRIVEN BY INWARD DESPAIR TO VIOLENT ENMITY AGAINST CULTURE WHEN IN A MOMENT OF DESPERATION THERE IS NO ONE AT HAND TO SHOW THEM HOW TO ATTAIN IT IT IS NOT THE WORST AND MOST INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WHOM WE AFTERWARDS FIND ACTING AS JOURNALISTS AND WRITERS FOR THE PRESS IN THE METAMORPHOSIS OF DESPAIR THE SPIRIT OF SOME WELL KNOWN MEN OF LETTERS MIGHT EVEN BE DESCRIBED AND JUSTLY AS DEGENERATE STUDENT HOW ELSE FOR EXAMPLE CAN WE RECONCILE THAT ONCE WELL KNOWN YOUNG GERMANY WITH ITS PRESENT DEGENERATE SUCCESSORS HERE WE DISCOVER A NEED OF CULTURE WHICH SO TO SPEAK HAS GROWN MUTINOUS AND WHICH FINALLY BREAKS OUT INTO THE PASSIONATE CRY I AM CULTURE THERE BEFORE THE GATES OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES WE CAN SEE THE CULTURE WHICH HAS BEEN DRIVEN LIKE A FUGITIVE AWAY FROM THESE INSTITUTIONS
