That we may come in touch with the life
OF the German people; that we may to q
certain extent share their social interests,
Doctor Poszkowski, who conducts these
classes, arranges each year for series OF
social gatherings to which are invited
German families and students, and which
are conducted after the most approved
German methods.
Last week occurred the first OF our series,
a typical student evening. At the Restau-
rant yum Heidelburger in the Central
hotel, a room was reserved for US. We as
sembled about tables, for in this land the
table is the beginning and the end Of
every social gathering.
After q cordial welcome by Doctor Posi-
kowski, we sang the Latin hymn ''Gaudea-
mus igitur", gave a "Hoch" for student
life in Germany, and sang the "Wacht am
Rhein." Then each one in turn was re-
quested to stand, give his name, his state
and country. America had by far the lar
gest representation, and Of the number
four were from Maine.
The representatives from each country
sang their national song, and then re-
nounced their language for the rest Of the
evening. A Frenchman sat at my right,
an Italian at my left, and two Hungarians
opposite me. We talked to each other in
. German that showed strange differences
in pronunciation. However, We could un-
lerstand each other.
At intervals we were entertained by
German elocutionists and vocalists, and
the hours passed all too rapidly. It was a
delightful evening Of German cheer and
cordiality, and we are waiting with impa-
thence for the next "geselliger abend"
which we will enjoy next Saturday night.

Why So Weak?
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life Away. Ellsworth Peo-
ple Have Learned This Fact.

When healthy man or woman begins
to run down without apparent cause, be-
comes weak, languid, depressed, suffers
baclsache, headache, dizzy spells and uri-
nary disorders, look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the kidneys well
and they will keep you well. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys and keep them
well. Here is Ellsworth testimony to
prove it:
Arthur L. Frazier, Of q Hancock St.,
employed in the Union Shoe Factory,
Ellsworth, Me-, says: ssFor some time last
fall had been annoyed with severe pain
in my back. paid little attention to it
at first, thinking it would disappear Of
Itself, but instead of getting better the
pain grew worse. My back felt at times
- il it would break in two. When l sat
in chair at night after days work the
pain was so severe that could not sit still
and had to keep changing my position.
The trouble was at its height when began
taking Doan's Pills, which were procured
for ms at e. G. Moore's drug store. i had
only taken few doses when felt relief,
and = continuation of their use cured me,
since which have scarcely felt any signs
Of my former trouble"

In a German University.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Nov. q. 100


To the Editor Of The American:
On account Of the presence Of President
Hadley Of Yale and Professor Schofield Of
Harvard as exchange professors at the uni-
versity of Berlin this winter, the institu-.
tion has aroused unusual interest in
America as well as in Germany.
1t was in the year 1910, not long after
Nspoleon's victories in Germany, and at .
time when the future OF the land was most
doubtful, that the university was estab-
ished. Its object, as the king, Frederick
William III expressed it, was to supply in
mental power what the state had lost in
physical strength. A palace formerly oc-
cupied by Prince Fenry, brother OF Frede-
rick the Great, was chosen to serve as the
main building of the institution. Here
are held most OF the lectures to-day,

Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1907-12-11

must confess that in the opening
weeks, the most interesting lecture to me,
and imagine to many Americans, was
President Hadley's introduction to his
course in the development of American
Industry. However, it was not to learn
of conditions in America that we entered
the university Of Berlin, but rather to
gain as much Of the German language,
literature and history as oce short winter
can supply, and reluctantly we were
forced to forego the pleasure of listening
70 President Hadley.
Several splendid courses are especially
arranged for foreigners. The language is
taught and at the same time the literature,
history and the customs of the people.
These classes are surely cosmopolitan.
There are representatives from America,
Japan, China, France, Italy, Russia,
Poland, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Hol-
land, England, Canada, and one brown
faced man from India; but all with one
purpose-to learn German as quickly as
possible.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1907-12-11

The number of students enrolled exceeds
1900. About 600 are women, but it is only
six years since women were admitted to
the lectures, and there are still some pro-
fessors who exclude them from their
classes. The privileges Of the university
are open to all ssauslander" (foreigners)
who have received at least the degree
Of bachelor Of arts.
A diploma is the only evidence OF this
right accepted. By an experience, but
wholly agreeable experience, learned how
rigidly this rule is enforced. Unfortu-
nately my diploma was in America, but
with my matriculation card and the rank
cards of four years at Wellesley, l hoped to
establish my right to enter the university.
The secretary serenely looked at the
cards; Wellesley professor endeavored to
testify for me, but without avail. .sThere
is no doubt that the young lady has re-
ceived her degree, said the secretary, 'sbut
we must see the diploma" cablegram
was the only solution Of the difficulty.
