...Military Government had helped by supplying space, books, building materials and airlift coal-just about everything, in short, but the professors. Professors and instructors, however, were plentiful. They came, 134 so far, from all over Germany. Some of them are refugees from the Russian zone itself; twenty-three left well-paying jobs at the old University of Berlin.

With his "corrected floor space" settled, the tenant turned to Schedule III and added up an arbitrary amount of floor space for "facilities and conveniences." A cold-water faucet in the hallway rated .25 square meters. Private flush toilets rated four square meters, non-flushing toilets only two. Adding up the "corrected" square meters of the three schedules and multiplying the sum by the fixed charge per meter, he arrived at his monthly rent...
