...success as this has crowned the four years' effort of the Annex. If such a result had been confined to the experiment entered into with such fear and tremboing at Cambridge, it might be considered something phenomenal out of the natural order of things, and therefore worthy of no particular attention except as a curiosity. But it happens that that same result may be seen wherever women have been admitted to men's colleges.

If attendance on particular lectures was enjoined for certain callings-what are called "compulsory lectures"-these regulations were not made by the university, but by the state, which was afterwards to admit candidates to these callings-At the same time the students had, and still have, perfect freedom to migrate from one German university to another, from Dorpat...
