Excerpt from The Vocation of Man Tility. Meanwhile he continued to develop and ex pound his philosophy in writings and lectures. In 1805 he became professor at Erlangen, but owing to the unfortunate issue of the war with France he felt obliged to exile himself to East Prussia. Returning to Berlin in 1807 he there delivered his celebrated Addresses to the German People, in which with splendid effect he called upon his fellow country men to regenerate and revivify their fatherland. On the foundation of the University of Berlin Fichte threw himself ardently into the scheme of its organi zation, and in 1811 he was appointed Rector, but his imperious and insistent temper made it difficult for others to work with him, and he soon resigned the position. He continued to lecture on philosophic and patriotic themes during the stormy years of 1812 and 1813. In the opening days of 1814 his wife caught a fever through her attendance upon the sick and wounded who filled the Berlin hospital. Fichte nursed her assiduously, but as she recovered he took the disease and after a short illness died January 27, 1814. On his tomb was written the appropriate and beautiful text: Thy teachers shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn manv to righteousness as the stars that shine for ever and ever.
