Axel Anderson Ii much discussed
man In Christiania at the present time.
Eleven years ago. while a student In
the University OF Christianla. he sub
mitted thesis for the Doctors degree
on "The Sacrament during the first
two centuries after Christ" II was
examined by committee OF profess
sors. composed Of Odland. Schott and
Brun. who rejected It as a superficial
Effort, and Mr.. Anderson was denied
the degree he sought. Later on he
translated his thesis into German, and
had II published in Germany, where It
attracted the favorable attention of
many noted scholars. and was also
praised In other countries. Recently
another committee OF the faculty of
the University of Christiania re-exam-
Ined Mr.. Anderson's thesis and pro
nounced II n work OF scholarly re-
search and merit. They notified Mr..
Anderson OF this fact. and apologized
to him for the injustice done him
eleven years ago and expressing re-
greet that. on account of formal objec-
tlons and his own disinclination. 1t Is
now impossible to rectify the wrong
by granting him the Doctors degree.
