Abstract
Nearly twenty years ago I failed my first reading of Fritz Ringer's The Decline of the German Mandarins. Or, perhaps, it failed me. I wanted, then, something it could not give. What I sought, I sought for a good but insufficient reason. I wanted a book for use by students in a graduate seminar in social theory. I thought they would warm more to the theories of Weber, Mannheim, and the others, if they knew something of the lives of these exceptional persons.
