Abstract
MANY former members of staffs of German universities and other institutes have, as is now well known, either been forced to leave or have voluntarily vacated their posts, for political, racial and other reasons. Some have obtained analogous posts in the universities of countries outside Germany, and we have recently received a list of those who are now working at the University of Istanbul. Among these are Prof. H. Winsterstein (physiology), Prof. M. Brauner (botany), Prof. M. Dember (physicist), Prof. M. von Mieses (mathematics), and nearly thirty others, most of whom have been appointed to chairs in the University of Istanbul. Prof. M. Freundlich, who is at present professor of astronomy, leaves at the end of the academic year for the University of Prague, and Prof. F. Dessauer, professor of rontgenology, is going to the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.
