Lazarsfeld blamed the Institut’s German-language publishing for isolating it from American academia

Evidence

I told them for years that publishing in German will finally destroy them. But they had the fixed idea that their contribution to America will be greater if they preserve in this country the last island of German culture. This is especially true of their Zeitschrift. I have asked Lowenthal, its former editor, to make a brief content analysis of the ten volumes which have appeared in this country. Everyone will be surprised how much of value is buried there! — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 657
