afraid, of the Germans; and there are few, if any, among us who do not know the splendid ability as well as the noble devo- tion of the German Emperor. Why, then, do we not try to have universities resembl ing those of Germany? It is nonsense to say that they are good for Germans, but would never suit England.
The fact is that the word “university," like the word "museum," has in this coun- try been perverted and applied in such a way that no ordinary man knows what it does or what it should agnily. If any school or college or group of colleges ob- tains permission to call itself a “univer- aity ""in English-speaking countries, no one asks any further question. It is a university, and that is an end of the mat- ter. In the United Kingdom and the overson, Dominions and Colonies there is an almost endless variety of so-called universities. They are to have a congress in London and call general attention to themselves this summer. But in Germany there is only one kind or type of univeraí- ty. One of the chief founders the University of Berlin (Fichle) wrote words to this effect: "A university is not a place where instruction, is administered to young men. It is a corporation or group | of learned men the professors of the university-who associate younger men: with themselves in the making of now knowledge "That is the absolute and essential quality of a German university, Further, it is self-governed, not governed by every person who has at any time studied there and taken s degree, but really self-governed, that isto say, govern- ed by its actual professore, organised in Faculties-philosophy (including natural and historical sciences), medicine, law, and theology. Naturally, as the State supplies all, or nearly all, the funds, there is a certain but discreetly and sympatheti- cally exercised control on the part of the State Government. Another great prin eiple of the German University is Lehrfreizeit und Lehrnfreiheit,”* Any graduate can claim permission to teach; every student is free to go to whatever pro- fessor's teaching he chooses. Thero is not "'curriculum,” no competitive examina. tion. The professors whom teaching a student chooses examine him orally for his degree.
One of the old English Universities might be, on the other hand, described as "a place one of them is Oxford, the most
