The prince has now good ground for

TO marry two years ago the Kaiser said

Accordingly the prince threw himself
into his scientific work. and contrived to
get ready for his examination within two
years He then applied TO the minister Of
education for permission TO appear before
the examiners. although the rule is that
candidate must frequent the university
for three years. II is said that this is the
first time a Prussian prince has received
this degree.
