defence of the maintenance of the special professional 

 schools. It was now proposed, and agreed to, that as in 

 the meantime a great many friends of the Aligemeine 

 Hochschule had added their names to the list of intending

 the meeting 



There spoke in succession Dr R. Hartig, Professor in 

 Neustadt-Eberswalde, in Prussia ; Oberforster Beiss, from 

 Neustadt, in the Palatinate ; Oberforster Use, from 

 Beurig-Saarburg, near Treves ; Forstmeister Ganghofer, 

 from Wiirtzburg, in Bavaria; Forstmeister Bando, from 

 Neustadt-Eberswalde, in Prussia ; Dr Borggreve, Professor 

 in Bonn (Poppelsdorf), on the Rhine. Dr Lothar Meyer, 

 Professor in Carlsruhe, in the Grand Duchy of Baden ; 

 Dr Gerstner, Professor in Wiirtzburg, in Bavaria; and 

 Professor Dankelmann replied. 



Thereafter the President desired those who wished to 

 give their vote in favour of professional school instruction 

 .in forestry being combined with that given in the 

 Allgemeine Hochschulen to stand up, when the whole 

 assembly seemed to rise with loud cheering. Then those 

 who were in favour of the continued maintenance of 

 separate Schools of Forestry were requested to stand up, 

 when sixteen members only of the assembly stood up. 

 Thus was the decision of the Congress given in favour of 

 the former arrangement.
