This was, as it is well known, the period of nation building in East Central Europe, where various national projects elaborated by regionally based elite groups, endowed with historically accumulated but very unequal political, economic, intellectual and symbolic assets, converged or collided in the Magyar nation state emerging after the 1867 Compromise with Austria. The study of these elite groups appears to be crucial for the understanding of all major social processes leading to the 1919 disruption, including such differ- ent ones as industrialisation, urbanisation, the creation of parliamentary statehood and contemporary patterns of political mobilisation, the establish- ment of the intellectual infrastructure of modern societies (the press, the school network, agencies of cultural production), the evolution of ethnic power relations (as expressed in national antagonism, antisemitism, assimi- lation), new models of class identity together with their expressions and con- flicts (for example, embourgeoisement versus gentrification), modern demo- graphic structures, etc. In one way or another elites were responsible for the invention, the realisation or the imposition of often contrasted or even antag- onistic patterns of modernity in this part of Europe, explicable only via their recruitment (by ethnicity, religion, properties, noble or plebeian birth), inher- ited social capital, aggregate interests, strategies of self-assertion, represen- tations of collective future as well as the utopias and salvation ideologies they adopted (whether liberal, socialist, free masonic or other) or the claims they extended for leadership in imagined communities. Hitherto the study of elites remained largely fragmented by fields of activities (the economy, politics, administration, academe, literature, the arts, etc). In the last decades West European social history has produced some precious research on top elite segments and even larger, institutional- ly defined elite clusters like alumni of outstandingly prestigious educa- tional institutions. This scholarly orientation draws heavily on historical sta- tistics, occasionally produced by national statistical agencies, and local prosopographies, listing members of selected institutions. Recently the tech- nological revolution of computer science has opened new vistas in elite studies. A number of biographical data banks have been published on what 7 The University of Kolozsvár/Cluj and the Students of the Medical Faculty may be qualified as reputational elites men of some fame or in charge of public functions of high visibility in the given society. The computerisation of serialised biographical information permits the massive, possibly exhaus- tive treatment of data pertaining to members of elite groups regardless of their size which was hitherto practically unfeasible , on the sole condi- tion that they are fed into an appropriate programme of data processing. Our present study is an attempt to promote the renewal of social studies of elites in our region by the presentation in both published and comput- erised form (on CD rom) of all the biographical information accessible in local archival sources related to students of the Medical Faculty of the Hungarian University in Kolozsvár/Cluj (1872-1918). This volume will be shortly fol- lowed by two other ones dedicated to the Faculty of Law and to the Faculties of Letters (Arts) and Sciences of the same University, since the prosopo- graphic research for these volumes is close to completion. Subsequently, a special volume is envisaged for pharmaceutical students in Kolozsvár/Cluj. These publications will cover some 20% to 30% of those having pursued higher studies in the Carpathian Basin during the epoch of the Dual Monarchy. Up to now only students born or residing in Hungary and enrolled in foreign universities have received similar treatment. The combi- nation of these two types of major prosopographic collections will add up to maybe as much as 40% to 50% of higher graduates and affiliated clusters (without graduation proper) in pre-1919 Hungary. The importance of this work is enhanced by the fact that most of the archival material pertaining to students of the University of Budapest, the first institution of this kind in the Carpathian Basin, have been destroyed with a few exceptions: lists of students and of graduates of some Budapest Faculties have survived, as well as archival evidence of the social back- ground and educational career of some specific student clusters. The senior author of this study has collected a large amount of biographical information prepared for a later publication of students admitted to as well as appli- cants refused at, the Eötvös Kollégium in Budapest (1895-1949), members of two major Catholic teaching congregations in the period 1880-1947 (the Piarists and the Benedictines), as well as several samples of graduates of the four inter-war universities in Hungary. The junior author has gathered biog- raphical information concerning the education, higher studies abroad and home, academic career, marriage strategies, etc of university professors in Transylvania in the inter-war years in a comparative perspective as to the integration of the region into the Romanian academic market. We are planning the ultimate merger of all these prosopographic data banks on upcoming educated elites in the Carpathian Basin, in a first instance up to the collapse of the Dual Monarchy. With this an overall basis can be provided for elite studies during the long 19th century in the region, whereby each graduate and presumably the great majority of students of any sorts will be identified and characterised thanks to an obviously variably 8 Foreword rich collection of personal data. Ideally, the final outcome of this work will result in a unique data collection which can be heuristically rewarding to confront with reputational lists (like entries in computerised national ency- clopaedias or biographical dictionaries), other computerised registers relat- ed to specific elite segments (like free-masons, those having Magyarised their surnames) or individuals with certified creativity, achievement or public competence

  • The Framing of the First Hungarian Citizenship Law (Act 50 of 1879) and the Acquisition of Citizenship
    THE FRAMING OF THE FIRST HUNGARIAN CITIZENSHIP LAW (ACT 50 OF 1879) AND THE ACQUISITION OF CITIZENSHIP NORBERT VARGA University of Debrecen, Faculty of Political and Law Sciences, Debrecen Hungary In 1879, Hungarian legislators deemed it was time to settle the issue of citizenship once and for all. The moment was not chosen by mere accident, because the previous years had witnessed an upsurge of legislative acts striving to legally settle the ques- tion of who should belong to the states of Europe. The bill was discussed and opined by the Naturalization Committee of the Parliament. The most important problems were the naturalization and the absence. The first regulation of Hungarian citizen- ship according to the contemporary constitutional reforms and legal practice only took place in 1879. It is a major milestone in Hungarian citizenship law, since it also incorporated in its system the cases of acquisition and loss of citizenship. The law contains detailed provisions on how the legal relationship between the citizen and the state could be established and terminated. The objective of the law was to make the system of citizenship clear and transparent. Keywords: legal history, constitutional law, citizenship, naturalization, loss of citi- zenship, acquisition, multiple citizenship, Naturalization Committee, parliamentary debate, absence, marriage, national status, dual monarchy The antecedents of the first Hungarian citizenship law date back to the period of the Revolution and War of Independence of 1848. The bill submitted to the Par- liament of 1847/48 already contained the conditions for the acquisition and loss of citizenship.1 Due to the importance of the bourgeois transformation, however, the detailed debate of the proposal was subsequently taken off the agenda.

By our study we would like to set forth a plea for a comparative history of Alsace and Transylvania (as two border provinces) and to yield a first set of Key words: arguments in favour of such a scientific endeavour. Once established the advan- Alsace tages and the methods upon which an inquiry of comparative history rests, we Transylvania could better understand the particular identity and the ways in which these two comparative analysis sideline provinces have related to their centres of power. Thus the monolithic and exclusive national history may be replaced by a fragmentary and/or periph- eral standpoint which would bring to light different aspects concerning local or regional history, regionalism or the relationship between the centre and its periphery. To Jean-Noël Grandhomme 1. Mitteleuropa from the Vosges to the Carpathians Countless arguments could be called forth in favour of a history in which Alsace and Transylvania should be compared to each other. One might equally find counterarguments to it, among which the strongest one could be the contestable question which would significantly diminish the importance of the chosen subject: why should Alsace be compared to Transylvania and not to Sicily or to any region on planet Mars?1 The research methodology, on the other hand, has a set of serious problems quite its own foritis very hard to determine precisely, as Veyne (1999, p.

  • Romanian Neo-Protestants in the Interwar Struggle for Religious and National Identity
    Pieties of the Nation: Romanian neo-protestants in the interwar struggle for religious and national identity by Iemima Daniela Ploscariu Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Constantin Iordachi Second Reader: Vlad Naumescu CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2015 “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author.” CEU eTD Collection i Abstract Neo-protestants (Seventh-Day Adventists, Baptists, Brethren, and Pentecostals) were the fastest growing among the religious minorities in interwar Romania. The American, Hungarian, German, and other European influences on these groups and their increasing success led government officials and the Romanian Orthodox Church to look on them with suspicion and to challenge them with accusations of being socially deviant sects or foreign pawns. Neo- protestants presented themselves as loyal Romanians while still maintaining close relationships with ethnic minorities of the same faith within the country and abroad. The debates on the identity of these groups and the “competition for souls” that occurred in society demonstrate neo- protestants' vision of Romanian national identity challenging the accepted interwar arguments for what it meant to be Romanian.

  • A Brief History of the University of Szeged and Its Predecessors
    A brief history of the University of Szeged and its predecessors “The intellectual power of teachers creates the good reputation and blessed opera- tion of a university, not its silent walls.” (Áron Berde, November 10, 1872) The era of the Jesuit Academy in Cluj The beginning of higher education in Cluj, exiled to Szeged in 1921, dates back to 1581. István Báthory, Prince of Transylvania and King of Poland, on May 12, 1581 issued a foundation letter in Vilnius, taking measures to establish a Catholic university consisting of two faculties (Arts and Theology), within the framework of the Jesuit Collegium in Cluj which had been founded in 1579. The Jesuit Order sent 20 to 30 well-renowned excellent professors to Cluj (e.g. Jakub Wujek, István Szántó, Alphonso Carillo, Petrus Maiorius). The foundation letter of the Prince provided five villages and five larger ecclesiastical buildings (the Benedictine Abbey in Mănăştur, and the Fran- ciscan and Clarist monasteries in Cluj) in Kolozs county for the development of the institution. At the end of the 16th century the Academy in Cluj was the sole higher educational institution in the Carpathian basin In 1603, amidst the Long War (1591-1606) and religious upheavals, the Abby was demolished and two years later the Jesuit order was expelled from Tran- sylvania. In 1616, Prince Gábor Bethlen allowed, however, for the Jesuits to open a school in Mănăştur which was namely a middle school but there was a teacher (Gergely Vásárhelyi) who, having been teaching at the University founded by Báthory, ensured a certain personal continuity between the two institutions.

  • Between Emancipation and Antisemitism: Jewish Presence in Parliamentary Politics in Hungary 1867–1884
    BETWEEN EMANCIPATION AND ANTISEMITISM: JEWISH PRESENCE IN PARLIAMENTARY POLITICS IN HUNGARY 1867–1884 Árpád Welker THE PERIOD UNDER STUDY The early 1880s were both difficult and extraordinary from the point of view of Hungarian Jewry. Political antisemitism had been present for half a decade, but it became violent and influential during these years, though only for these years. In other words, this was a time of crisis within the ‘Golden Era’ of the Hungarian Jewry, as some researchers of Hungarian Jews call the period of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy 1867–1918. [1] Besides antisemitism ‘normal’ political debate took place in parliament simultaneously, namely that related to the bill on Jewish–Christian marriages, which was also decisive from a Jewish point of view. The ‘antisemitic wave’ started with the attempts to establish a nation-wide movement, the Central Association of Non-Jewish Hungarians, following the example of Wilhelm Marr’s Antisemitenliga in Germany. [2] This period of virulent antisemitic activity culminated in the events related to the infamous Tiszaeszlár blood libel case, including a series of riots threatening the safety of Jews in numerous counties, and the foundation of the National Antisemitic Party in 1883. After the clear defeat of the antisemites in the elections of 1884, antisemitism practically became insignificant. [3] It took ten years until a political party incorporated antisemitism in its programme again, but the antisemitism of the Catholic People’s Party was ‘less virulent’, [4] and neither their only nor even their main goal. THE ‘DOUBLE PROGRAMME OF EMANCIPATION AND ASSIMILATION’ András Kovács in an article about the relationship between politics and Hungarian Jews argues that ‘independent Jewish politics has no tradition in the history of Hungarian Jewry’.
