1mt fahmife 28 eola@ao On 3l.III.l943 I found a note at the institute in the afternoon, I would like to urgently visit Rector B u n t r u. I called Magnificenz Buntru and arranged a meeting at 5 pm. The discussion was initially the occasion of a pedagogical dieting document. As a result, the rector followed the proposal that I had previously formulated in writing /compare Appendix l./. On the question of the treatment of the Qtto case, he said that the recto was of the opinion that the group leader should not be induced to intervene in this matter. He also did not believe that the Group leader would be inclined to take action against Otto. I objected to the fact that the present situation is not a case of Otto. It is a question of consequences: SS-Obergruppenführer Heydrich and later group leader Frank have repeatedly expressed the wish that Prof. Otto is actually emeritus when the age limit is reached, because a comprehensive and successful representation of the pediatric teaching pulpit with him is no longer to be expected in his linguistic philosophical interests. The philosophical faculty has unanimously put itself on the same point of view and submitted a three-way proposal in the minority. At the faculty meeting, there were no disparaging tendencies at all regarding the retirement of Otto. Now, the ministry /subsidiary of Reichsminister Rust / the Secretary of State stated that an retirement from Otto would not be considered, because the philosophical faculty of Prague did not want this. Either here a speaker has submitted a letter to the Minister of the Reich Rust for signature, which is not clouded by any knowledge of the progress, or but a member of the philosophic faculty has made mood in a private correspondence against the wishes of the Imperial Protector and the Faculty. - 2 -
