sites are pretty generally engaged in
unlearning some of the lessons taught
them by the German universities. but
there Is one German university institu-
ton which Is worthy of adaptation under
American conditions. The ranks OF the
German university professors have long
been recruited from what are called

licensed body pt university graduates

Prvat -docent receives from the univer-

students who follow his particular
courses each priva;-doCent Is dependent
upon his own efforts for his university
income and FOR establishing himself In
such fashion as to make his advance

graduate faculties at Columbia there
have been too many professors aSso-
