330 ♦  Universities in Imperial Austria, 1848–1918 Senates der k.k. Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz anläßlich der Interpellation des Reichsrathsabgeordneten Malik und Genossen, die Verzichtleistung des Dr. Laker auf die Dozenturbetreffend,” Tagespost (Graz), 11 April 1901, 2. 101. AGAD, MWiO, Sygn. 65u, PA Creizenach, Z. 19335, 3 December 1882. 102. The data are from my own calculations based on 501 known appointments to the medical and philosophical faculties in Graz, Innsbruck, Vienna, and Prague (excluding the Czech University), including archival materials on Chernivtsi University held by the State Archives in Vienna. 103. Bernhard vom Brocke, Hochschul­ und Wissenschaftspolitik in Preußen und im Deutschen Kaiserreich 1882–1907: Das “System Althoff” (Stuttgart: Klett- Cotta, 1980). 104. See William Lloyd Mathes, “The Struggle for University Autonomy in the Russian Empire during the First Decade of the Reign of Alexander II (1855– 1866)” (PhD diss., Columbia University, 1966); and Alen Sinel, The Classroom and the Chancellery: State Educational Reform in Russia under Count Dmitry Tolstoi (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1973), 85–129. 105. See, e.g., Stremayr, Erinnerungen aus dem Leben, 47. 106. See, for example, the procedures for finding a professor of midwifery in Prague in 1852 (AT-OeStA/AVA Unterricht UM allg. Akten 1209, PA Kiwisch, Z. 6683/546, 28 July 1852) or a professor of surgery at the medical-surgical academy in Innsbruck in 1859 (AT-OeStA/AVA Unterricht UM allg. Akten 1055, PA Joseph Fischer, Z. 14179/519, 17 September 1859). 107. AGAD, MWiO, Sygn. 120u, PA Rehmann, Z. 187, 15 September 1882. The doc- uments referred to were Z. 319, 18 March 1875 (proposal of the faculty to hold a contest), and Z. 5048, 17 September 1875 (rejection by the ministry). 108. See the appointment procedures for botany in Innsbruck: UAI, PF, Z. 249 (letters of recommendation by Julius Wiesner and Heinrich Moritz Wilkomm), and Z. 264, 29 March 1888, in which Otto Stampf, at the time a Privatdozent in Vienna, proposes himself as a suitable candidate. 109. For example, even before the chair of surgery in Innsbruck was advertised in 1903, the Prague professors Rudolf Jaksch-Wartenhorst and Anton Wölfler wrote letters presenting the Prague Privatdozent Hermann Schloffer as the best can- didate. See August Jaksch-Wartenhorst to (probably) Moritz Löwith, UAI, MF, 7 March 1903; and the letter of Anton Wölfler, 9 June 1903, ad 24130, med 856 1902/1903. 110. See, for example, UAI, Berufung Zoologie, 4/ Carl Heider 1893/94 (Z. Ph. 386, 16 April 1894; a request for expert opinions was sent to the full professors Carl Claus in Vienna, Berthold Hatschek in Prague, Ernst Ehlers in Göttingen, and Franz Eilhard Schulze in Berlin). This practice also took place in several other appointment procedures in Innsbruck. 111. See the appointment of Franz Meyer, in AT-OeStA/AVA Unterricht UM allg. Akten 628, PA Meyer, Z. 32921, 22 September 1904. 112. See, though, AT-OeStA/AVA Unterricht UM allg.
