...hour, a large room that has been filled with students can better be imagined than described. to be sure, during the pause of the "Akademisches Viertel" the doors and some of the windows are thrown open for a few minutes; yet during that time the bad air is not all removed. And it sometimes really seems as though the German student, were he quite by his own countrymen without the presence of foreigners, would willingly and with perfect content sit in this atmosphere of poison, without once thinking of opening a window...

Dr. Johnson said that the man who did not care for his dinner would care for nothing else, and experience...
