137 - 2 In the letter of 15 May, Min.- Mentzel informed you that he intended to clarify with Obergruppenführer Heydrich the position of curator of the University of Applied Sciences in Prague. This meeting no longer took place. ObergruppensführER Heydric, however, with Dr. Beyer talked about this matter and, according to his statements, explained the following: He agreed that the curator would at the same time take over the function of a university lecturer at the Reichsprotektor. However, he made it a condition that a prior limitation of the responsibilities between rector and curator should take place, in the sense that the rector as the representative of the minister in scientific matters and the curator as the minister's representative in administrative matters was responsible. The Eplase published by Berlin on this question did not satisfy him, since the position of the rector was too little emphasized. He personally believed that the rectorate had to be the actual presider of the university, but was prepared to agree to a division of powers. However, he had to reject the actual ordination of the curator about the rec-tor, intended by Berlin. It should also be borne in mind that the party rejects the position of curator in the universities in general. Brarilhaw 1.) About Mr. Secretary of State -Group Leader F r a n k to Division I 2.)
