A provisional agreement has recently been reached between Harvard University and the Department of Education of the Prussian Government, after about two years of informal correspondence, where by the University will make an annual exchange of professor with the University of Berlin. Each year one Harvard professor will be selected to serve once semester at Berlin, and one Berlin professor will be chosen for a half-year service one semester at Berlin, and one Berlin professor will be chosen for a half-year's service at Cambridge. The professor who will exchange will not necessarily be in the same department of learning. The selection of professors rests with the President of Harvard University, subject to the grant by the Corporation of the necessary leave of absence, and the Rector of the University of Berlin. This arrangement will probably go into operation for the academic year 1905-06.
