ment of fees for a number of years in some Universities, in the 
others (in Prussia only in Marburg) payment is remitted entirely, or 
0 the extent of one half. 
6. Among the extraordinary professors a distinction is made 
between salaried and unsalaried*) ones. The former are appointed 
permanently at a fixed salary, and are employed, partly to complete 
the instruction in the chief branches of study, partly to represent those 
subjects for which as yet no ordinary professorship exists in the re- 
spective Universities or elsewhere. 
The unsalaried extraordinary professors draw no stipend, but 
some have a teaching commission, and receive in that case a remuner- 
ation. Formerly the nomination to an unpaid extraordinary pro- 
fessorship was made as an encouragement and recognition of a 
yprivatdocent who had proved efficient. In Prussia, however, in 
more recent times, such nominations have become more and more 
rare, and successful ,privatdocents®, as a rule, now simply receive 
the title of professor. 
7. The salaried (ordinary and extraordinary) professors are not 
subject in Prussia to the regulations for superannuation that apply 
to other officials, but, in case of incapacity for professional duties, 
‘hey are dispensed from delivering lectures with continuance of full 
salary, as well as of allowance for house-rent and of a share in the 
fees of the faculty. This favoured position is partly due to the fact 
that a portion of the official income of the professors consists of 
college fees, which cease with the discontinuance of actual teaching. 
In Jena and Rostock the professors are in the same position. In 
Leipzig the professors can be pensioned at their own request, and 
the amount of pension is, in that case, fixed by an arrangement be- 
tween the Ministry and the petitioner. In Strassburg a retirement 
from active teaching takes place, which the professor can demand 
when he has reached the age of 65, or when he is deprived of the 
management of his institute. He then retains his proper salary, but 
with a deduction of the allowance, amounting to one fifth or one 
sixth. In Bavaria, Wiirttemberg, Baden, and Hessen, the same re- 
gulations as to superannuation apply to professors as to other officials. 
[n Bavaria the college fees are, in that case, considered as 
»additional receipts”, and hence the rate of pension is increased in 
che first official decade bv one seventh. in the second bv one eioth.
