Leipzig University

Wow.

He was the, uh, uh- ... head of Germanic studies at George Washington University, studied abroad at the University of Leipzig.

If you look Edward Sert up on the internet, you'd go on for pages of some of the research he did on German languages and everything.

And just as an aside, before we get to the rest of them, in 1914, he was studying at the University of Leipzig in, it was August 1914.

My great-grandfather and my great-aunt, who was just a little kid at the time, went over to visit him.

Well, August 194- 1914 is when the First World War started, and they were caught behind the enemy lines.

For example, today, uh, we would like to share, uh, our experience of visiting the Bach country, Leipzig.

Uh, our recent, uh, uh, tour with Vilnius University Choir, Gaudeamus, led us to Leipzig University.

And we even visited, uh, Bach's- the Bach Museum, and almost touched the Bach, uh, uh, statue.

Yes, and we visited the Thomas, St. Thomas Kirche, St. Thomas Church, uh, where Bach worked.

And, and, uh, finally we played, uh, joint concert, uh, at the Leipzig University, uh, s- Paulinum Church.

The most striking feature for me of that, uh, trip obviously was, uh, ability to, to go to the Bach Museum and, um, and, uh, see all the, uh, places and, and, uh, documents.

And hear, hear the, the music authentically performed, uh, and it was very interactive museum experience.

Secrets of Organ Playing mug, beautiful, a beautiful, um, uh, present, early Christmas present perhaps.

The figure of ninety-eight point six was established as the standard by a German physician named Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in eighteen sixty-eight.

Wunderlich was a professor of medicine at the University of Leipzig, and he was unusually committed to the idea that medicine should be grounded in careful, systematic measurement rather than subjective impression.

At the time, taking a patient’s temperature was not yet a routine practice.

Thermometers existed, but they were cumbersome instruments, often a foot long, and could take twenty minutes or more to produce a reading.

In the autumn of 1864, he began his university life in Bonn and studied philology and theology.

At the end of six months, he gave up theology, and in the autumn of 1865 followed his famous teacher Ritschl to the University of Leipzig.

There he became an ardent philologist and diligently sought to acquire a masterly grasp of this branch of knowledge.

But in this respect, it would be unfair to forget that the school of Pforta, with its staff of excellent teachers, scholars that would have adorned the chairs of any university, had already afforded the best of preparatory trainings to anyone intending to take up philology as a study, more particularly as it gave all pupils ample scope to indulge any individual tastes they might have for any particular branch of ancient history.

Now Ritschl, who had early recognized my brother's extraordinary talents, must have written a letter of such enthusiastic praise, quote, Nietzsche is a genius.

He can do whatever he chooses to put his mind to, end quote, that one of the more cautious members of the council is said to have observed, quote, If the proposed candidate be really such a genius, then it were better did we not appoint him, for in any case, he would only stay a short time at the little University of Bale, end quote.

My brother ultimately accepted the appointment, and in view of his published philological works, he was immediately granted the doctor's degree by the University of Leipzig.

He was twenty-four years and six months old when he took up his position as professor in Bale, and it was with a heavy heart that he proceeded there, for he knew, quote, the golden period of untrammeled activity, end quote, must cease.

Let's try this.

And so we teamed up with an expert in surface texture measurements here at the University of Leipzig.

And she basically did measurements of samples.

This was not artifacts, but bones that could have been raw material for artifacts.

The figure of 98.6 was established as the standard by a German physician named Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1868.

Wunderlich was a professor of medicine at the University of Leipzig, and he was unusually committed to the idea that medicine should be grounded in careful, systematic measurement rather than subjective impression.

At the time, taking a patient's temperature was not yet a routine practice.

Thermometers existed, but they were cumbersome instruments, often a foot long, and could take 20 minutes or more to produce a reading.

Soon her wishes prevailed, and though both she and Rudel were aware of the youth's eternal soul struggle between music and the law, Robert made a promise of a sort to embrace jurisprudence.

And so, at Easter 1828, we find him enrolled at the University of Leipzig as a studiosus juris.

Scarcely arrived in Leipzig, he struck up a warm friendship with another law student, Gisbert Rosen, who shared Robert's poetic enthusiasms, particularly his devotion to Jean Paul.

Rosen was on the point of removing to Heidelberg to continue his legal studies, and Schumann quickly formed a plan to accompany his friend on his journey with a few stopovers on the way.
