In the early days of the Hohenzollerns Prussia was a rugged country and fair to see. Fogs blew up off the Baltic and settle down over the hills. Great baronial estates sprawled over the land. Fat cattle dwelt in the fields, and tall grass swayed in the winds. There lived in this territory the proudest, bravest, most solid people the world had seen, the Prussian Junkers. They had rallied to the support of the Great Elector, they had fought for Frederick in the dreary days of Zorndorf. They had built the Prussian nation.

But the nation fell upon hard days, for the bugle of Napoleon was loud in the land. What Russia and Austria could not do the Emperor of France seemed all too easily able to bring about. The Prussian flag lay furled as the world stared on at Prenzlau, Ratkau and Auerstadt. A handful of men stormed over Europe shouting "The Old Guard neither dies nor surrenders," and Prussia shivered in the Baltic fogs. In Prussia at this time dwelt an old man, who later gave his name to a fine boot, who was to see them do both.

This degradation could not go on forever. The Junkers bethought themselves and took council as to what could be done. What they, and all the citizens of Prussia, did to restore the power and the glory of their country will be told today at 10 o'clock in Harvard 1 by Professor Fay.
