But it seems now that the importance of this action has been over estimated, and that it offers but another proof of the tenacity with which the members of ancient corporations cling to existing institutions even in the face of reason. Public opinion in Germany is undoubtedly moving against this academic verdict. A book has just been published which shows that the opposition to such an artificial attempt to restrict the popular tendency is no longer confined to the interested party itself...

The prospect of a general adoption of the rule does not grow brighter as time goes by, but, on the contrary, appears dimmer than ever. We still cling to our former position, therefore, in requesting the faculty either to rescind the rule or so to modify it as to do away with its objectionable features...
