12. In the same manner the Protestant faculty of the University of Erlangen will have to be retained.
13. Regarding the south German area, I do not agree with your plan to transfer the Protestant faculty in Heidelberg to Tuebingen. Tuebingen has already become a confirmed Protestant-theological center. It is feared that the transferring of the Heidelberg Protestant faculty to Tuebingen would only still further emphasize this characteristic of the university town.

18. The theological faculty of Jena would probably have to be retained until further notice.
19. Also the theological faculty in Leipzig should be combined with that in Halle.

Furthermore, I would like you to take into consideration the following in connection with the mergers which we have planned:
