Abstract
IN response to requests for information on the extent of the Institute's participation in the celebra tion on June 30 of the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of the University of Gottingen, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has issued the following statement: “Although the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will not send an official delegate from Cambridge to attend the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of the University of Gottingen, the rector of the university has been notified that Werner T. Schuarte, a technology alumnus of the class of 1914, who lives in Germany, will represent the Institute as an academic courtesy to a university which during the past two centuries achieved world-wide renown through distinguished scholarship and notable con tributions to the advancement of scientific know ledge. This action is not intended to condone changes in or restrictions placed upon German universities in recent years.”
