Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS Gottingen in 1950, devoted to the "Seven of Gottingen," the famous Gbttinger Sieben, professors who in 1837 were banned from that university and, as matter of fact, from the territory of the Kingdom of Hanover. Jacob Grimm, who with his brother Wilhelm (who was not involved) was the greatest Germanist and one of the greatest legal historians of all times, was among them. The king had suspended the Hanoverian constitution and replaced it by autocracy—a procedure not exactly uncommon in 19th century Europe—and the Seven had composed and signed a most respectfully worded protest, for which they were dismissed. A storm of opposition swept through all of Germany, the Seven found other and better positions, and Gottingen received a moral blow from which it but slowly recovered. It was the last interference with German aca­ demic freedom until Hitler destroyed it. Americans who are aware of the debt we owe to the German concept of academic freedom should read the story with great care. It may cause some nostalgia. It is noteworthy, incidentally, that the essay was published in 1937, which explains the fact that the author had to refrain from drawing obvious analogies to contemporary conditions.
