Abstract:
Presents a history of the numerus clausus restriction in the universities and other institutions of higher education in Russia from the late 19th century (beginning in the reign of Alexander III) to 1916. The quota was first introduced in 1885 at the University of Kharkov; before Alexander III, the authorities had regarded the universities as a means to achieve the assimilation of Jews. The all-Russian numerus clausus for Jews was introduced in 1887; the number was increased and decreased periodically. Although the rules of admitting Jews to universities were liberalized in 1915, the numerus clausus was not lifted until the February revolution of 1917. Some Russian statesmen (e.g. I.I. Tolstoy, p.M. Kaufman, S.Y. Witte), although advocating the assimilation of Jews, objected to restrictions in the field of higher education; however, opposition to lifting of the restrictions was stronger.
