A chapter in Gösta Mittag-Leffler, 2010, pp 425-430 from Springer Abstract: Abstract At the College, things were inexorably moving in a different direction than the one for which Mittag-Leffler had been fighting. The College Association and representatives for the city of Stockholm – the original initiators who had consistently wanted the school to offer an education in line with what was offered at the universities in Uppsala and Lund – gradually won increasing support among the teachers at the school. Mittag-Leffler stalwartly led an ever-shrinking group of teachers who wanted to make the school a radical alternative, a “true center of higher culture” and “a hotbed for true research.” These were the words that Mittag-Leffler used in a speech that he gave before the College board of directors in March 1894. The speech was immediately printed and distributed. Covering sixteen pages, the speech presented his viewpoints on teaching, curricula, and various degree regulations. In conclusion, he offered a compromise: If necessary, he might agree to the implementation of a licentiate degree – but definitely not a master’s or basic degree. To do so would signify the implementation of an entirely new form of teaching at the school.
