But he set his heart upon a professorship, and I suppose a professor does not have to be particular about whom he marries." "A professor has to be particular only to please himself and the woman. His choice is not regulated by salaries and congregations." She returned to her point: "You breed fine cattle and fine sheep, and you try to improve the strain of your setters. You know how you do it.
Goldwin Smith, by his high character, his broad and deep scholarship, his devotion not only to his professorship but to the general university work, his self-denial in behalf of the university and its students, rendered priceless services. He bore all privations cheerfully and braved all discouragements manfully. Never were there better historical lectures than his.
The question was brought up again in 1867, this time by the Regents, who sought to secure the payment of the $15,000 granted to the University upon condition that they establish a Professorship of Homeopathy, by authorizing a School of Homeopathy in Detroit. Again the Court failed to grant the request.

Exactly at this moment Conrad Vorstius had been called by the University of Leyden to the professorship vacant by the death of Arminius, and the wrath of Peter Plancius and the whole orthodox party knew no bounds. Born in Cologne, Vorstius had been a lecturer in Geneva, and beloved by Beza. He had written a book against the Jesuit Belarmino, which he had dedicated to the States-General.
As the spring odors filled my nostrils, my wish to emigrate was like that of the birds. "Out there is my share of the government land and, if I am to carry out my plan of fitting myself for a professorship," I argued "these claims are worth securing. My rights to the public domain are as good as any other man's." My recollections of the James River Valley were all pleasant.
But Uhland's conservatism is unalterably honest without any reactionary traits; he resigned his professorship rather than be hindered in his political activities, and refused, with the peasant's dourness, all the orders and distinctions that were offered him. Indeed, there is something of the peasant nature in all of Uhland's verse.
