Excerpt from In Ruhleben: Letters From a Prisoner to His Mother, With an Account of the "University" Life, Classes, Spots, Food, Accommodation, Etc;, Of the Internment Camp of British Prisoners
Ruhleben to a representative of The Daily Telegraph, that I call it the university or ruhleben. There are many branches of study - music, art classes, languages, lectures on commerce, navigation, engineering and original research. There is a magnificent laboratory and classes are held in a loft with a poor light; it is a marvellous triumph over difficulties.
