This is a catalog of scholarly papers rather than dissertations. The Programmschriften
were essays in an area of subject specialization which were submitted by Gymnasien
directors with their annual statistical reports. About one third of the entries
are in the field of the humanities, and all the Schriften were presented between
1850 and 1918. The main sequence is arranged alphabetically by author, and there
is a subject index.

Obtaining a Dissertation Does Yale own the dissertation? Yale dissertations are kept by Manuscripts
and Archives in the Sterling Memorial Library. For dissertations written
at other institutions, check Orbis for the author name, or, if the dissertation
was written prior to 1978, look in the card catalog. Sometimes dissertations
are published later as books, and occasionally the title will differ somewhat
from the original title.
If you determine that Yale does not own the dissertation, try the links
