We do not wish to criticize the quality of the instruction or the efficiency of the instructors in the German department, but we should like to 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.

Therefore we call upon our readers to send in lists to us, which we will promptly forward to the Critic. The lists should contain the names of forty American authors who are thought worthy of a place in an American academy.
