✦ Synopsis
In 1894, three great German physicists died: Heinrich Hertz in Bonn, August Kundt and Hermann von Helmholtz in Berlin. As their successor Friedrich Kohlrausch, director of the Institute of Physics in Strafiburg, was nominated. He denied to go to Bonn and at first acce ted the call to Berlin as director of the chair should be devided, eclaring that it would be im ossible to take the burden of teaching, research and the whole administration. A ter some months of negotiation the philosophical faculty refused this condition. In the meantime the director of the Physikalisch-7'echnische Reichsanstalt Helmholtz died, and the Prussian Cultural Ministry offered this position to Kohlrausch, who accepted it. These proceedings which were kept secret by the faculty were openly discussed
