ABSTRACT GÖTTINGEN is celebrating its bicentenary on June 30 of this year. Perhaps no university has maintained so high a standard of learning over so long a period as Gottingen. Among its illustrious professors have been Albrecht von Haller, a man of most varied genius and the first modern physiologist, Gauss, supreme alike as mathematician, astronomer and experimenter, Blumenbach, the humane and wise father of anthropology, the brothers Grimm, begetters of modern scientific philology, whose name is known in every nursery, Wilhelm Weber, associated with the measurement of electrical quantities, with terrestrial magnetism, with the electric telegraph and, along with his brother Ernst, with a multitude of physiological researchers, Ewald, the Hebrew scholar, commonly regarded as the father of scientific biblical criticism, Wustenfeld, who traced the debt that European science owes to the Arabic-speaking world, and Henle, one of the greatest of anatomists, founder of the science of histology, whose name is attached to more than one structure of the body. These men and their colleagues and successors taught and inspired innumerable English-speaking students.

Blumenbach, the humane and wise father of anthropology, the brothers Grimm, begetters of modern scientific philology, whose name is known in every nursery, Wilhelm Weber, associated with the


measurement of electrical quantities, with terrestrial magnetism, with the electric telegraph and, along with his brother Ernst, with a multitude of physiological researchers, Ewald, the

the greatest of anatomists, founder of the science of histology, whose name is attached to more than one structure of the body. These men and their colleagues and successors taught and
