Invitation Lecture
Press Announcement American Academy in Berlin Establishes Gerhard Casper Fellowship BERLIN—February 09, 2020—The American Academy in Berlin is pleased to announce the establishment of the Gerhard Casper Fellowship. The fellowship honors the former Stanford University president and longtime American Academy trustee for his lifelong commitment to academic excellence and scholarly research. “For the American Academy, Gerhard Casper has been the indispensable man,” said Academy president Daniel Benjamin. “We have benefitted so much from Gerhard’s wisdom and leadership over the years. I am really delighted that there will be a fellowship in his name.” Born in Hamburg in 1937, Gerhard Casper studied law at the Universities of Hamburg and Freiburg and at Yale Law School. He immigrated to the United States in 1964 to take up an appointment at the University of California, Berkeley. From there, he went to the University of Chicago, where he spent 26 years as a faculty member, dean of the Chicago Law School, and the university’s provost. He then served as the ninth president of Stanford University, from 1992-2000. A trustee of the American Academy in Berlin from 2000- 09, Casper then served as its president from July 2015 to July 2016, and from August 2019 to January 2020 as trustee-in-residence. “I am deeply grateful for Gerhard’s long service to the American Academy, both on the board and in the president’s office at the Hans Arnhold Center,” said Academy board chairman Sandra Peterson. “I know I speak for the entire board when I say the Academy of today would not have been possible without him.” The Gerhard Casper Fellowship has been made possible by a generous grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York, which will fund its first two years.

Die Luft Der Freiheit Weht - on and Off on the Origins and History of the Stanford Motto
Die Luft der Freiheit weht - on and off On the Origins and History of the Stanford Motto Stanford Historical Society October 5, 1995 Gerhard Casper* Every so often, Stanford wonders-how it came by the German motto ''Die Luft der Freiheit weht."l The basic outlines of the story are by now well established, including the fact that the "German" motto is actually the German translation of a Latin text. However, the accounts that I have seen are rather unsatisfactory concerning the question of how President Jordan came to embrace it. Jordan himself does not tell us. I should like to do two things today. First, I should like to shed some fresh light on the matter of David Starr Jordan and the motto. This effort will take us back to Indiana University. Second, I should like to begin an effort to trace the motto's fate at Stanford more fully than has been done so far. To set the stage, I begin by reminding you of what is known. Jordan has given us a couple of fairly meager reports on how the motto was introduced at Stanford. For instance, in 1917, in an extemporaneous' Founders' Day address, then Chancellor Emeritus Jordan told how, "[I]n connection with one of my early speeches, I had occasion to quote what Ulrich von Hutten said when Luther was being persecuted. 'Don't you know that the air of freedom is ,. For research assistance, I am much indebted to Margaret Kimball, Head of Special Collections and University Archivist, and to Steven Martinez. The paper also reflects help I received in the summer of 1992 from two then graduate students at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, Ed Callahan and Jonathan Strom.
