... a school of classical type, [which] gave good education in the humanities, including basic Latin and abilities to speak fluent German and French. Describing these years, Kubilius used to mention his attempts to write poetry, to make a radio apparatus, ... and rediscovering the Pythagorean triples.

Student organisations were closed. Studies were brutally made Soviet. The dismissal of several professors was politically motivated. Thus, lecturers, students and office employees became actively involved in the anti-Soviet resistance movement.

At the beginning of the Nazi occupation, all Jewish professors and students were dismissed from the University by order of the occupiers. Jewish professors and the majority of the Jewish students were shot dead or tortured to death in concentration camps. The staff of the University who had fled East or were rather active during the Sovietisation process were dismissed, too. Later the Nazis demanded the dismissal of all Russian and Polish students.

Hecke's results about the asymptotic distribution of primes in algebraic fields were sharpened by Rademacher (1935) in the case of real quadratic fields, in that he was able to obtain estimates for the error terms in the corresponding prime number theorems. In the present paper the author follows Rademacher's programme in the field $k(i)$, and his proof is based to a considerable extent on Rademacher's work.

This is a development of the "analytical number-theory in $n$ dimensions" introduced by Hecke on the basis of his zeta-functions associated with an algebraic number-field $K$ of degree $n$. The existing theory is extended and strengthened by the use of the more powerful methods now available for estimating trigonometrical sums and the density of zeros of zeta-functions.

This monograph is almost entirely devoted to the statistics of the distribution of the values taken by an additive function, i.e., a function $f (n$) of the positive integer $n$ such that $f (mn) = f (m) + f (n)$ when $m, n$ are coprime. ... There is a detailed exposition of several important results, several of them due to the author. Much of the detail of the proofs and several of the results do not seem to have appeared in print before or have appeared only in comparatively inaccessible journals. There is comparatively little discussion of the history of the subject or of how the results obtained fit into the general framework of what is known about additive functions. There is, however, a pretty full bibliography which covers a much wider field than the book itself. The monograph is to be welcomed as a useful addition to the literature of a topic of considerable current interest.

... bourgeois ideology, relics of nationalism, of clinging to the past, and national isolationism.

In his speech at this celebration, president Kubilius said: "The past is the root that is closely joined to this day and frequently it sprouts with unexpected buds even for the future." These words certainly were a heresy for the Soviet ideology and they expressed the president's different view on the role of our past and of the 400-year-old institution of learning. Indeed, looking at the past according to the meaning of the words he uttered is irreconcilable with the Marxist ideology and the effort to renounce the old world and to create a new one as even the Marxist anthem says. Neither did the rest of the Kubilius's speech at this celebration follow the rules of the Soviet style, since he did not mention Lenin or Marx even once.
