In 1935 he became associate professor and in 1943 professor for sociology and economics at the University of Freiburg i.Üe. In 1933 he founded the magazine Das Aufgebot and directed the grouping movement until his death; thereby "he represented a corporatism characterized by foreign infiltration rhetoric and anti-Semitism, but rejected totalitarian movements". According to Widmer, on the Catholic side he was considered to be one of those people who were trusted to counter the emergence of the fronts and National Socialist propaganda in Switzerland with Catholic-conservative content and concerns.
