volution was inevitable in 1848.

Professors and students armed

themselves and joined the revolu-

legion.

After the events of 1848, the refor-

mations pursued Humboldt’s human-

istic ideal of education. The state

should back out of education entirely,

as, according to this ideal, education

geared towards all of humankind is

most valuable to the state instead of

directly utilizable knowledge.

the German student body remained

in power and was accepted as the

academic authorities. Yet in 1918, the

student representative demanded

annexation with Germany and called

for enrolment quotas for Jewish

students.

In the beginning of the 1920s, the

violence against Jews increased even

further. German Nationalists attacked

Jewish lecturers in their lectures with

cease their teaching activity.



When the board of directors of the

Viennese Community informed the

prime ministers of these events in

1922, he said:
