The Marx-Engels publishing house name alone breached the university charter

Evidence

When the Society for Social Research applied to the City of Frankfurt for permission to affiliate a `Marx-Engels Archive Publishing House’ to itself, with Felix Weil and Friedrich Pollock as its business managers, the registrar, rector and pro-rector of the university protested. The party-political name of the publishing house alone contravened the university’s charter, they held, according to which it was to teach the scholarly disciplines independently of parties, and without one-sidedness. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 122
