| Abstract: |
The end of the nineteenth century became the period of rapid progress of the Czech nation. Prague was the center of its spectacular development. The Czech suburbs got ahead of the German center of the city in their progress. The process demanded corresponding reaction from the Czechs' neighbours. The traces of this reaction could be found even in such a particular case as life of the student societies. The «Czech wonder» had great importance for German, Jewish and Slovak students. The most significant among their organisations were the eldest, biggest and the most authoritative: Die Lese- und Redehalle der deutschen Studenten, Spolek českých akademiků židů and Slovenský spolek Detvan. Facts from their public performance reports and in some cases correspondence from the archives of these student clubs let us say, that each of them had elaborated its' own way of relationship with the Czech majority. The Germans preferred to avoid contacts; the Jews, on the contrary, entered into reciprocal cooperation with Czech student and voluntary societies; the Slovaks contented themselves with private contacts. |
