Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from German Universities: Contributions to the History and Improvement of the German Universities The following Contributions to the History and Improvement of "The German Universities" constitutes the fourth volume of Prof. Raumer´s "History of Fedagogics," and was translated from the last German edition, for the "American Journal of Education" by the Associate Editor, Mr. Frederic B. Perkins, Librarian of the Connecticut Historical Society. Prof. Raumer introduces his work with the following quotation, on the title-page, from Savigny´s "History of the Civil Law." "The Universities have come down to us as a noble inheritance of former × and we are bound in honor to leave them to future generations with their condition improved as far as possible, and injured as little as possible." The work is dedicated by the German author To The Students Of The Past And Present, Who Have Been My Companions From 1811 To 1854, I Dedicate This Book, In True And Heartfelt Love. The Preface is as follows: - The reader here receives the conclusion of my work. It is a contribution to the history of the universities. When I commenced it, I hoped confidently to be able to make it greater; but in proportion as I gained an insight into the difficulty of the enterprise of writing a complete history of the German universities, my courage failed. Many of the difficulties which the historian of the German people has to overcome, are here also found in the way, and in much increased dimensions. If all the German universities possessed the same features, if the characteristics of one of them - important modifications excepted - would stand for all, then the task of their historian would, apparently, be quite simple. But how different, and how radically different, arc the universities from each other! Even the multiplicity of the German nationalities, governments, and sects had much to do in distinguishing them. To compare, for instance, the universities of Gottingen and Jena, as they were at the beginning of the present century; what a contrast appears between them! And how much greater is the difference between these two Protestant universities and the Catholic one of Vienna! Further than this, each single university undergoes such changes in the course of time, that it appears, as it were, different from itself. To instance the University of Heidelberg: Catholic in the beginning, it became Lutheran in 1556, Reformed in 1560, Lutheran in 1576, Reformed again in 1583; afterward came under the management of the Jesuits; and, at the destruction of their order, returned to Protestantism.
