The German Universities. By Friedrich Paulsen. Authorised Translation by Edward

Delavan Perry. (Macmillan and Co.)—. This will be found an interesting and valuable work, not only for the information which it gives, but also for the contrasts which it suggests, especially with the colleges and universities of the United States, a subject to which Professor Buller (of Columbia College) devotes the greater part of his excellent introduction. Of many topics touched, not the least important is that of Lehrfreiheit, the "Freedom of Teaching." This, in the faculty of theology, has been marvellously fertile. One only wonders whether the " Freiheit" should be stretched so far as to include the belief that there is no such thing as theology at all.
