Patently something is wrong when a law misfunctions so flagrantly. The newness of the regulations and the changing boundaries of Central Europe, add immensely, of course, to the confusion.

...multiplication of courses has at present gone so far that the seventeen courses taken by the undergraduate represent but a small portion of the educational opportunities which are offered here. Many men go through college and, through no fault of their own, come in contact even in the lecture hall with relatively few of proffessors of faculty...
