APPENDICES

APPENDIX L

Russian Sunday-schools are far from being identical in
character with American Sunday-schools. They are schools where
working-men who are occupied during the week can obtain
instruction in the elementary and other branches of secular
learning. Religion is taught in all schools on week-days—I. P. H.

APPENDIX M

The newspapers mentioned her under the name by which she
was known in Sweden—" our Professor Sönya."—I. P. H.

APPENDIX N

In the commemoration made by Mittag Leffler, as Rector of
the Stockholm University, after the death of Sönya, he thus
speaks of her influence on her students :

" She came to us from the center of modern science full of
faith and enthusiasm for the ideas of her great master of Berlin,
the venerable old man who has outlived his favorite pupil. Her
works, which all belong to the same order of ideas, have shown,
by new discoveries, the power of Weierstrass’s system. We
know with what inspiriting zeal she explained these ideas, what
importance she attributed to them in resolving the most difficult
problems. And how willingly she gave the riches of her
knowledge, the genial divinations of her mind, to each student who
had the will and the power to receive them! Her simple
personality, free from any trace of scientific affectation, and the
eagerness with which she sought to comprehend the
individuality of every man, induced all her students to confide to her,
almost at the first meeting, their own most hidden thoughts and
sentiments; their scientific doubts and hopes; their hesitancies
before new systems; their sorrows, disillusions, and dreams of
happiness. With such qualities she entered on her teaching,
and on such bases she founded her relations to her scholars."
