The following article was reprinted from the London Jewish Chronicle. - - "A remarkable and unique accident has occurred in Chicago. Rabbi Hirsch has been appointed Professor of Talmud in the Chicago University. This is probably the first appointment of the kind ever made at any University. The European Universities, with all their liberality, have thus far refrained from appointing Jews to professional chairs in any subjects bordering on the theological.

Prof. Harper, who is at the head of affairs in Chicago, is a distinguished Hebraist. His paper, "Hebraica," enjoys a high reputation among scientific students of Hebrew.
