Klappentext Standard narratives hold that the German students of the late 1800s and early 1900s were conservative! anti-Semitic! radically nationalist! and aggressively militaristic. According to such accounts! these students already shared ideological similarities with the National Socialists. By analyzing students' memoirs and newspapers! organizational histories! and commentaries on student life! this calls this picture into question. It uses these primary sources to investigate the full range of student politics and argue that the conflict between different groups within this student body played an important role in the openness of many to liberal perspectives. Zusammenfassung Student life and political perspectives at Wilhelmine universities
