...resignation of a loved and honored teacher must always be accompanied by a deep sense of loss on the part of the University that he has served. No matter for how many years he has been in office, nor how exacting the work which he has carried on his shoulders, the announcement of his impending retirement invariably has an element of surprise and shock. It seems impossible that one who has been so close to the life of the institution can ever...
When the late famed Geographer-Naturalist Sir John Murray (1841-1914) was 69 years old he sailed off to investigate the deep-water life and sea-floor topography of the North Atlantic Ocean.

...film suffers from the usual ill of operettas, an overdose of sentimentality. The love of Wolfgang and Friederike was not one of heroic proportions, and throughout one has the conviction that Goethe's career is more vital to him than Friederike's love, a belief which is incompstible with deep enjoyment of a romance. Mady Christians as the unfortunate heroine adds another to her imposing list of excellent performances...
