Although ordinarily . German uni
versity is composed of four faculties,
yet there are several that have more.
This is brought about by division Of
the philosophical faculty, or by the ad-
dition of q Roman Catholic faculty.
Heidelberg has recently created . fifth
faculty by making separate organiza-
tion of the mathematical and natural
science department. Tubingen and
Strassburg have . similar arrangement
In Tubingen the political and economic
section Of the philosophical faculty also
constitutes m independent body, and -
there are two theological faculties, .
Protestant and . Catholic, this univer.
sity enjoys the rare distinction Of being
the only one in Germany with seven
separate faculties. Bonn and Breslau
also have two theological faculties.
