Abstract:
During the period 1871-1918 a Jewish educational elite emerged which strove to join the German "Bildungsbürgertum". The exclusion of Jews from academic and social life became a major student issue as a result of social conflict between upwardly mobile Jews, many of them of petty bourgeois origin, and German students who belonged to the old elite, at a time of crisis in the academic labor market. This crisis was blamed on the "over-representation" of Jewish students and other outsiders in academe. During this period, many German academics turned from liberalism to conservatism and to modern social antisemitism.
