The report begins with a discussion of the European Communities' 1970 directive on the teaching of migrant workers' children, including its background, the debate held about it, the initiat:an of pilot projects during the debate, and the project methods. Subsequent sections outline, for each of the four country projects, the particular situation of ethnic minority children in the country's school system as a whole and the design of the project to enhance education of migrant children in that country. In each country, the pilot project was implemented in one city. The cities were: Genk (Belgium), Bedford (England), Paris (France), and Leiden (the Netherlands). Next follows a comparative analysis and assessment of the four programs, focusing on two major program aspects: (1) introduction of migrant children to the host country language and culture; and (2) native language instruction. A concluding section discusses the politics of special programs for this population and emphasizes the need for new approaches to the education of ethnic minority children. An extensive bibliography is included.

There are at present no agreed educational policies for solving the many problems it raises. However, it seems to us that to reach an agreement on concepts of educational policy at the Europeanlevelis a matter ofless urgency than to develop a number of different national schemes, carefully and flexibly linked, that could be brought into operation in specific problem situ- ations in response to specific demands. This need not mean, however. that such developments should take place independently of one another and without cross-fertilization. Yet even within the individual countries, where there are unified poli- tical institutions and no language barriers, exchanges

Powazek Master of Arts, Graduate Program in Art History University of California, Riverside, June 2020 Dr. Kristoffer Neville, Chairperson When the Albertine Dukes of Saxony gained the Electoral privilege in the second half of the sixteenth century, they ascended to a higher echelon of European princes. Elector August (r. 1553-1586) marked this new status by commissioning a monumental tomb in Freiberg Cathedral in Saxony for his deceased brother, Moritz, who had first won the Electoral privilege for the Albertine line of rulers. The tomb’s magnificence and scale, completed in 1563, immediately set it into relation to the grandest funerary memorials of Europe, the tombs of popes and monarchs, and thus establishing the new Saxon Electors as worthy peers in rank and status to the most powerful rulers of the period. By the end of his reign, Elector August sought to enshrine the succeeding rulers of his line in an even grander project, a dynastic chapel built into Freiberg Cathedral directly in front of the tomb of Moritz.

Mit dem Ziel, das portugie sische germanistische Publikum mit die sem bedeu- tenden, mittelalterlichen Text vertrauter zu machen, hat die Germanistische Abteilung der Universität Porto am 27. Oktober 2000 ein eintägiges Symposium veranstaltet, auf dem verschiedene Aspekte der Nibelungenliedforschung erörtert wurden.
