476 Notes to Pages 216—223

107. Vorländer, following the lead of many before him, claimed that Kant was close
     only to Johann Ernst Schulz and Kraus (Vorländer, Immanuel Kant, II, p. 318).
     This is demonstrably false, as I hope to have shown (I have relied to some extent
     on Stark, "Kants Kollegen").

     no. See Kant, Latin Writings, ed. Beck, pp. 161—183. There is some evidence that
     Kant, who was dean during this semester, had some influence on this appoint¬
     ment. See Euler, "Kant's Amtstätigkeit," p. 83.

112. In Kant, Latin Writings, ed. Beck, p. 179, Kant directly addresses Kraus in a
     public defense, saying: "I turn finally to you, honored respondent, whom I have
     long counted among my best students. Endowed by nature with excellent gifts of
     intellect, you possess rich knowledge," etc.

     in a letter of November 24, 1777, of his own cock, "which has never been heard
     crowing, and which accordingly does not belong to the race of those loud-mouths
     {Schreihälse) which our Professor Kant does not like." Hamann, Briefwechsel, III,
     P- 387-


121. Voigt, Kraus, p. 146. For the move see Hamann, Briefwechsel, V, p. 222, and Stark,
     "Wo lehrte Kant?", p. 99. But see Gulyga, Kant, p. 112, andVorländer, who think
     the move took place as early as 1775.
