Professor Paszkowskie's Lectures.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

May I call the attention of those who are interested in new European movements to the forthcoming lecture of Professor Paszkowskie on "The German Press," to be delivered in the German language in Emerson Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. Professor Paszkowskie has come to America at the request of the Germanistic Society which every year invites two or three German men of letters to give addresses on German literature or art or public life before German associations in various American cities.

These lectures sometimes receive invitations from the leading universities to speak in the academic halls, and such an honor has been extended this time to Professor Paszkowskie by Harvard University. In this way Harvard expresses a fully deserved appreciation for the efforts of a man who has been for many years a most helpful friend to all American scholars, students and professors, who have studied in German universities, and especially in Berlin. He is the head of the Berlin University office for advice and instruction for foreign students; he is at the same time lecturer at the university, for foreigners, on German history, language and public institutions; he is editor of the official Berlin university weekly paper, and editor of the excellent "International Monatschrift"; in short he stands in the midst of the academic, literary and public life of Berlin and hardly anyone would be better authorized than he to give a vivid picture of the modern movements in the German press.
