| however, no student takes a Semi

sumo und gratis, except in the
same school Tor department)-we
say Tacu1tat herein which he
takes the corresponding Privatim
though the publiee may be, and
are, selected at random as it were.
Each of the 5 classes really is an
independent course of itself, so far
as its appreciation by the nearer is
concerned, though related more or
less to the Privatim subject. The
publice are especially independent
and are attended largely by the
citizens and others interested in the
subject discussed.
LENGTH OF LECTURE HOURS.
The regular vorlesungstunde as
it is called is one hour, the first Is
minutes of which is given for ex-
change of classes, thereby making
the lecture but three-fourths hour
long. The seminar, Privatissime,
und Privatissime und gratis are
usually II hours. As a rule
the Privatim is given 4 times per
week, and each of the others not
oftener than once per week. Rare
ly, however, does a professor have
more than six lectures in the six
days-one per diem.
INTERPOLATION.
Naturalization in a German Uni
versity-consists of two distinct
translations, each of which may
be subdivided into several smaller
ones. characterization and Ex-
matriculation,-as an American
vulgarism puts it, paying to get
IN, and paying to get out" Imma-
circulation consists of the follow
ing pieces of "red tape" as my
friend Mr.. Dodd, of Boston put it
the other day,
1. Report to the Secretary on or
before some time or other not es-
pecially named, but not later than
Oct 10 to 20, as near the 18th as
possible. You will have to find
where his office is the best way you
can. Garry with you your pass
port and diploma.
,. The Secretary holds your
document for examination and
tells you to report at certain 9TH
er room at some time in the near
future. Here judgment is pro-
nounced on your passport and di-
ploma Though they are still held
you are required to register (which
means writing more or less of your
family history, sign your student
card-the Pandora Box of the Ger
man student or any one studying
in this capacity-and then receive
certain documents for reference.
3. Within a certain time from
this you are to report to the Quar-
termaster and pay your Immatric-
ulation fee as marked at top of
Anmelde-Buch received at No. 3.
Mine was II Marks %.
4. Within few days you are
expected to report in the Aula-
commencement hall-with all the
other students and answer to roll
call. After the entire roll is call
ed to ascertain how many are alb
sent, it is called second time.
Just before this second ordeal the
hustling secretary (who speaks sell
dom in a lower tone than "a
sharp" a nervous, fidgety man in
this case who has not been told
that the world wo, Id not cease to
rotate were another to take his
place, made his way through the
crowded hall toward the door,
through which he soon disappear
ed, we supposing of course that on
his return the regular performances
would open. My ever ready friend |
Mr.. Dodd who has keen sense of |
the ridiculous, could not suppress
an appropriate Americanism as the
secretary passed out, and of course
knowing he could not understand |
English, and caring little if he did,
in distinct accents, audible to the
furthest end of the hall, remarked,
THAT fellow is as important as a
niger preacher at an American
campmeeting." But here comes
the bustling, high" toned" secre-
tary, leading the way for vener-
able, intelligent, pleasant looking
old gentleman of perhaps 65 years.
This is the old Rector. He takes
his place on the corner of the ros-
trum and as our names are again
called, an enrolment card about |
36x4O is handed him, we must APP
proach with much gravity, bow,
