The Social Composition of the Student Bodys of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Zagreb 1874–1914

U radu se na temelju podataka iz upisnih listova (nacionala) analizira socijalna struktura studenata Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu u razdoblju od osnutka Sveučilišta 1874. do početka Prvoga svjetskog rata. Pomoću metode kvantitativne analize autorica je nastojala pokazati iz kojih su društvenih sredina dolazili prvi studenti Filozofskog fakulteta i je li se i kako s vremenom mijenjala socijalna slika studentske populacije. U radu se obrađuje i pitanje školarine (naukovine) koja se u ono doba plaćala pri upisu u svaki semestar studija, kao i pitanje studentskih stipendija. Rezultati analiza uspoređeni su s dostupnim podatcima za Bečko i Praško sveučilište, te za sveučilište u Kolozsváru (Cluj Napoca).Based on the faculty admissions papers (nacionali), the article analyses the social composition of the student body of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Zagreb in the period from the foundation of the university in 1874 to the beginning of World War I. A quantitative analysis of the data regarding the occupations of fathers or guardians of students was utilised in order to answer two basic questions: 1) from which social strata the students of the faculty were coming during that period, and 2) whether the social composition of the student population changed and if so how, particularly with reference to the modernisation processes taking place at that time in Croatian society. The analysis has shown that most of the students came from families of civil servants and from their middling stratum. It has also shown that within the period under discussion, there were certain changes in the composition of the student population, which may be observed in the fact that more and more students belonged to the families of people employed in industry, in the first place of workers, merchants and employees of financial institutions, but also of peasants, which suggests an mild but persistent evolution. The article deals also with the issue of fees (naukovina), which were at that time paid simultaneously with the enrolment in each semester, as well as the issue of scholarships given to the students. Almost half of the students were, at least partially, freed from the burden of paying fees during their studies, and almost a third of them received scholarships. The results of this research were compared to the available data for the universities of Vienna and Prague, as well as the University of Cluj (Hung. Kolozsvár). The results of all these cases have shown quite similar tendencies to the ones discussed in this article
