10 QUOTES WITH «THE ACADEMY»
Famous quotes and sentences with the word
the Academy.

In the main the Academy helped to frame only laws of an economic or social nature, since owing to the development of the totalitarian regime it became more and more impossible to cooperate in other spheres.
Ninety percent of the members of the Academy of German Law were not members of the Party.
