...call attention to the vacancy that still exists at its head. This department has been especially unfortunate in this respect. The professorship, if we mistake not, was established in 1830, and was first held by Charles Follen. It became vacant in 1835, and from that time until 1872, the date of the appointment of Dr. Hedge, the German department lacked a head.

...oldest in all Germany, and has had an eventful history. It was founded as early as 1356 by the elector Rupert, but did not acquire the sanction of the Pope, then indispensable to institutions of learning, until 1386. It was modeled after the Paris University of more ancient date, and rejoiced in no less than four faculties, who governed and controlled all matters relating to the college, both financial and education. For many years it was without a library, but this was added by one of the later electors. During the stormy period of the reformation it became marked...
