A. be worth if we go about creating it with a blind determination to make forty men immortal whether there are forty worthy of it or not?

With the university's decided tendency toward a large faculty, three years ago it could boast of thirty-eight ordinary and twenty-six extraordinary professors, with numerous instructors. While the standard of education at Heidelberg is not so high as at some German universities, yet it has always been a favorite college among students, especially foreigners, and the attendance varies from five hundred in summer to eight or nine hundred in winter, of whom a large proportion are English and American...
