An einen “Herrn Stifts-Repetent Kraus” [Repetent an Vaihingers alter Schule – dem Evangelischen Stift in Tübingen.] Kraus hatte wohl eine philosophische Arbeitsgruppe von sieben Schülern und Vaihinger’s “Philosophie des Als Ob” muss Gegenstand der Arbeitsgruppe gewesen sein und Kraus hat aus diesem Grund mit Vaihinger kontakt aufgenommen. In der ausführlichen Art Vaihingers erwähnt dieser in seiner Antwort an Kraus den Einfluss von Otto Ritschl auf die Entstehung der “Philosophie des Als Ob”, er erwähnt auch Wobbermin in Göttingen und schreibt weiterhin: “als ehemaliger Stiftler betrachte ich es als eine Ehre, wenn im Stifte auch die “Philosophie des Als Ob” dadurch Anerkennung findet, dass man sich dort mit den von mir aufgeworfenen Theorien beschäftigt”.
