SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS This report is not concerned primarily with the Soviet Zone education system and practice, but with data on the six historic universities, the one technical university and other schools of university level in the. Soviet. Zone. General characteristics of the education system are given merely to illumi- nate trends and to point out stages of development. Information was drawn from unclassified reference books and West Zone publications, the student press of both zones and from CIA and State Department reports. Most of the relevant information was not available until late 1953. The data collected are based on the latest available informa- tion, but it should be remembered that academic and student functions change frequently.

Beginning with the reform decree of 22 February 1951, control of higher schools has been concentrated in the office of the State Secretary for Higher Education, depriving the university faculties of their autonomy, although the external facade has been partly preserved. The work of teachers and students is strictly controlled by elaborate study plans and study groups. The curricula of universities and schools of university level show a trend toward technical specialization, and a system of Communist indoctrination has replaced the "general studies" which were designed to round out knowledge and develop personality. The study of the Russian language is compulsory at all levels, with a view to integration of German science with the Soviet model. Because highly qualified teachers are scarce, the old "bourgeois" teachers are retained and awarded economic privileges and titles, but all influential posts are filled with trusted party men. At the same time a new generation of devoted teachers is being educated. Admission of students, awarding of scholarships and placement of graduates are controlled by the government and are designed to guide the students in accordance with the Five Year Plan and to change the social background of the student body. After temporarily allowing a measure of freedom in student political activities, the Soviet Zone regime has regimented all student life within the framework of the Free German Youth (FDJ), the all-embracing non- student youth organization, which is manipulated by the state party. Since 1952, pre-military training has taken an increasing share of student activ- ities. At present 6 historic universities, 1 technical university and about 25 special schools of university rank exist in the Soviet Zone. The number of teachers, roughly estimated at 1, 400, includes a comparatively high number of not fully qualified personnel. The number of students in these institutions, estimated at about 74, 000, is inflated by the inclusion of the preparatory workers and farmers faculties, teachers colleges and corre- spondent courses.

CHARACTERISTICS OF- HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE SOVIET ZONE OF GERMANY 1. Objective of Education Policy The main objective of the Soviet Zone policy on higher education is to unify and regiment education and assimilate it to the Soviet pattern, while at the same time utilizing German manpower, background and technical facilities-- and thus to train a technically efficient intelligentsia, devoted to the party line. This objective breaks with the German individualistic traditions of higher edu- cation: the Lehr-und Lernfreiheit or freedom of teaching and learning; the combination of teaching and independent research; the academic Freizuegigkeit or right of students to change courses, departments and universities, and the autonomy of the universities, which once were called "republics of scholars" and were subject to state control only in economic and administrative matters. The Nazis had departed from this tradition, and the Communists--after an illusive period of apparent liberalization--never restored it.* The apparent period of liberalization ensued immediately after the Nazi collapse in June 1945 and lasted until about the fall of 1948. The universities were reopened with great fanfare and promise between October 1945 and June 1946, and the restoration of freedom of the mind was proclaimed. For several years, the organizational structure of the Weimar period, with the old trap- pings and the traditional vocabulary, were retained. The assimilation to the Soviet pattern has taken place step by step and has not yet been fully accom- plished. Higher education in the Soviet Zone was controlled after 11 September 1945 by the Deutsche Verwaltung fuer Volksbildung (DVV), German Adminis- tration for Education. The DVV president, Paul Wandel, took orders from "The ludicrous caricature of academic freedom is replaced by a new prin- ciple of academic freedom through planned development of all mental and creative forces of our rising youth, " states Prof. Dr. Robert Havemann of Humboldt University. l/ Another Communist leader speaks of "the so-called academic freedom of disorder and sluggishness. " 2/ Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01383A000200030002-0 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01383A000200030002-0 the Soviet Military Administration.* The DVV had immediate control of the Berlin (Humboldt) University and supervised the education ministries of the five land governments, which on their part controlled the other universities and similar schools. After the formation of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) on 7 October 1949, which in the words of one Soviet official was a more polite form of Soviet Military Control, 3/ the DVV became the Ministry of Popu- lar Education, again with Paul Wandel in charge. His direct influence, how- ever, was greatly curtailed by the establishment of an independent State Secre- tariat for Higher Education (Staatssekretariat fuer Hochschulw.esen) on 22 February 1951. The State Secretary for Higher Education is not controlled by the ministry and all universities are directly subordinate to him. The in- cumbent is Dr. Gerhard Harig** 4/. The administrative apparatus of the German Democratic Republic is-- like that in the Soviet Union and in all satellites--parallel to and completely controlled by the state party, Sozialistische Einheitspartei (SED) or Socialist Unity Party, which was formed in 1946 by a fake merger of the Social Demo- cratic Party of Germany (SPD) with the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). 5/ Since July 1950 this merged party has been transformed into a "party of a new type"; that is, into a Soviet-patterned state party. Accordingly, the State Secretary for Higher Education receives his orders from his opposite. number in the SED hierarchy, the "head of the Section for Higher Schools and Scien- tific Institutions of the Division of Propaganda of the Central Committee (ZK) of the SED, " Ernst Hoffmann, and the "head of the Propaganda Division, " Professor Kurt Hager, who in turn is directly responsible to the secretary general of the SED, Walter Ulbricht. The SED Politbureau, finally, takes its orders from the Political Affairs Administration of the Soviet Control Com- mission. 6/ 3. Decrees and Regulations (For a chronology see Appendix 3) During the first years, several decrees were issued, regulating partial aspects of university life as admission of students, student discipline, student elections. The first over-,al.l regulation, the Provisional Working Regulation of Universities and Scientific Schools of Higher Education in the Soviet Occu- pation Zone of Germany (Vorlaeufige Arbeitsordnung der Universitaeten and wissenschaftlichen Hochschulen in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone Deutsch- lands).was issued as late as 23 May 19949. It greatly strengthened state con- trol over appointments to the faculty and over admission of students, created the posts of the government-appointed administrative director and the dean for student affairs, etc. 7/ The Provisional Working Regulation, the name of which indicated that it was meant only as a temporary measure, remained in force until August 1951. However, all these measures were still unco- ordinated and comparatively without effect. Most subjects were still taught Paul Wandel is an old Communist, who spent the war years in Moscow and acquired Soviet citizenship. He was formerly secretary to Wilhelm Pieck. ** For biographical note, see p. 62.

The decree reads in its preamble: "The further development of progressive German science, serving world peace, requires central direction of higher education. " It was followed by '13 executive instructions from 3 March 1951 to 2 December 1952 which established thorough state control over all aspects of university and stu- dent life. Uniform Model Statutes for the Schools of Higher Education (Musterstatut fuer Hochschulen) were drawn up in April 1952, 9/ the adoption of which by all schools was enjoined by the Resolution of the Council of Minis- ters of 28 August 1952. The chronology in Appendix 3 of this report shows the gradual progress of sovietization. 4. Academic Authorities The president of the university (Rector Magnificus) formerly was elected for each term by the whole body of the full professors, and was chosen each year from another university department in rotation. He now is to be elected by the university senate alone, and must be confirmed by the State Secretary for Higher Education. Traditionally his deputy was the president of the pre- ceding term. According to the Third Executive Instruction of 21 May 1951, implement- ing the Decree on the Reorganization, four prorectors were to be appointed by the government without participation of the rector: (1) a prorector in charge of "basic social studies" (i.e., of Communist indoctrination, which includes the study of Russian language and literature) who acts, if necessary, as deputy rector; (2) a prorector in charge of research affairs, who plans research activities and co-ordination with the, national economic plan and manages offi- cial university publications and scientific conferences; (3) a prorector in charge of recruitment and training of junior instructors of "scientific aspir- ants, " and (4) a prorector for student affairs, who is concerned with the ad- mission, the examination and the eventual placement of students. The pro- rector for student affairs takes the place of the students' dean (Studentendekan) instituted by the Provisional Working Regulation of 1949. The administrative director, who is not subject to rotation, is also a government appointee (sec. 32 of the Model Statutes). He takes the place of the former Kurator, who was in charge of economic matters. His influence is greatly increased. He is subordinate to the rector only in scientific matters and he controls all personnel affairs. All administrative directors are SED members. 11/ Eleven of the prorectors of 1952 had no doctor degrees; all with the exception of the prorectors for research were SED members. 10/ Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01383A000200030002-0 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01383A000200030002-0 5. Departments and Curricula The traditional. number of four or five. departments (faculties) has been increased by varying numbers of faculties. Within the faculties, special fields (Fachrichtungen) under appointed leaders (Fachrichtungsleiter) have gained some independence, The teachers' colleges were incorporated with the universities as "Peda- gogic (or Education) Faculties" in 1946, answering an old demand of German educators for university training for elementary school teachers. This policy, however, has.. lately been reversed, since it did not conform to the Soviet pattern. Now the tendency is to concentrate the training of secondary school teachers in one institution, the Teachers College in Potsdam., and teachers of the lower grades will again be educated in special schools.. 12/ In the first years the education faculties served a double purpose. They were intended not only to fill the cadres of badly needed elementary teachers "of the new type" (Neulehrer), but also to bring Communist activists into the universities and to supplant the philosophy faculties in the task of training secondary school teachers. 13/ The standards of admission to these faculties were lower than in others and the discipline stricter from the beginning. New education faculties were thus established in Leipzig, Halle, Jena and Rostock in 1947. In 1952, the Education Faculty of Leipzig was transferred to Greifswald, while a special College for Foreign Language Teachers is scheduled to open in Leipzig in 1954. Law faculties have been abolished, as in Greifswald* and Rostock, or considerably reduced in size and replaced by special schools for government employees, such as the German College of Justice and the German Academy of Administration (Deutsche Verwaltungsakademie, DVA) in Potsdam. 14/ In the philosophy departments, the humanistic subjects have been re- trenched in favor of natural science and economic subjects. Pure philosophy is now taught only in Berlin, Leipzig and Jena, and that only by Communist partisans. 15/ At the medical schools, accelerated programs were introduced to make up for the emigration of medical personnel to the Western Zone. The theology faculties have been retained for the time being. A Roman Catholic seminary was recently established in Erfurt (Thuringia). New departments for social sciences (Gesellschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultaeten, Gewifa) existed for several years at the Leipzig, Jena and Rostock Universities. They answered the immediate need for trained executive per- sonnel during the first years. These departments were later replaced by economic science departments in Berlin, Leipzig and Rostock. 16/ The often repeated guiding principle of education policy is that Marxism-Leninism is not a separate branch of studies but a frame of reference for every field of studies; it is the link connecting all specialized studies. Therefore, * In 1953, the Leipzig Law Faculty was transferred to Greifswald.

Russian language, was made compulsory for all schools. Students who fail the annual examinations in these subjects are liable to expulsion. The establishment of chairs for these subjects also provided an opportunity to add devoted party men, frequently without any academic background, to the faculties. D.e.taileKI instructions for the "Basic Social Studies" are contained in the Fifth Executive Instruction of 4 August 1950 implementing the Decree on the Reorgani- za.tion. The number of hours to be devoted weekly to political indoctrination, Russian language and pre-military sports amounts to about one third of the entire. study time.. 17/ Curricula are now elaborately regimented by "study plans,." worked out by the State. Secretary for Higher Education in consultation with "scientific advisers" (Wissennschaftli.che Beiraete), The study plans are described as comprehensive and well laid out, 18/ but they do not allow for individual incli- nation.... The lectures of the instructors must be. prepared in. writing in advance and must be approved with the literature to be. used.. 19/ Only the arrangement of material. is. left to the instructor. All the subjects must be slanted according to Communist doctrine, with constant reference to and reverence of Russian achievements. Since 1948, "objectivism"* and "cosmopolitanism" have been branded as intellectual vices. (See notes on Prof. Kantorowicz on p. 23, on Prof. Kuczinsky on p. 19, on Prof. Kofler on p. 45 and Prof. Warnke on p. 24). The study of Russian, the "key to the treasury of Russian science" 21/ is forced on all levels of students. Every thesis in a state examination must carry a summary in Russian language. 22 / The Second Executive Instruction of 4 May 1951 implementing the Decree on the Reorganization introduced a 10-month school year in accordance with Soviet practice, replacing the traditional two terms. (semesters) and largely restricting the students' free study time. 23/ On 7 September 1951, the Central State Examination Board was established and the faculty relieved of the function of giving examinations. Members of the board often are party men lacking professional knowledge.** 24/ At the same time obligatory collective "study groups, " called seminars, were introduced (discussed further in Section 11, p. 9). 6. Teaching Staff Because competent specialists have been scarce, the regime has afforded certain privileges to scholars, even if they are not Communists. Walter As opposed to "true objectivity. " An article in the official student paper Forum says: "Objectivism is, in truth, the- most treacherous men- " dacious form of siding with the old, the outdated. It is the ideology of re- action .. , Being partisan, favoring the new, we are in, truth objective, understanding the law of development. " 20/ **For the protest of the Rostock professors against these reforms, see p. 70.

In connection with the reform of. 1951, the German Democratic Republic .is - -s.ued three new decrees f 12 July 1.951) on the salaries of teachers. in. higher edu- cation, on their retirement benefits and on individual contracts with meritorious scholars. The decrees were followed by several executive instructions. 26/ Retired members of the faculties of international repute are usually kept on the faculty lists and frequently honored by awards. 27/ However, the number of full (ordinary) professors has decreased, al- though the s.tatistiap show considerable increase in the number of teachers. Many chairs are vacant or filled by temporary instructors under temporary assignments without full qualification. The Soviet Zone administration expects to remedy this situation by introducing the Soviet system of "academic aspir - ants, " which will have its effects in 1955 at the earliest. The Regulation on the Scientific Aspirants in Universities and Schools of Higher Education in the German Democratic Republic fAspirantenordnugng) of 15 November 1951 provides for a strictly supervised preparation period of three years for the doctorate and of four additional years for the lectureship (Dozentur), for annual inter- mediate examinations, for two dissertations which must be. defended in public and for government fellowship grants.. Proficiency in Marxism-Leninism and in the Russian language are indispensable prerequisites. Students of medicine can win the doctorate at an earlier stage. 28/ 7. Entrance Requirements In Germany, admission to a school of university level used to depend on the final examination, or "Abitu mriu, " of a secondary school. In the Soviet Zone, admission is now regulated by party-controlled commissions. The aim is "to break the bourgeois monopoly on education"; I. e. , to exclude not only the former upper strata, but also the lower middle strata of society, the small bourgeoisie. Regulations of the spring of 1947, of May 1949 and of September 1951 provide for a system of priorities and fix a minimum quota for students of worker and small farmer backgrounds and for female students. The quota for workers and farmers was 40 per cent and for female students 30 per cent according to the 1951 directive. This directive, obviously because of un- favorable experience with the previous practice, stressed the importance of scholarly qualification and extended the range of eligibility to children of the "creative intelligentsia. " 29/ A' early as the spring of 1946, preparatory study institutions (Vorstudi- enanstalten) were founded in all the laender fp;ovinces) toprepare workers, farmers, their children and persons persecuted by the Nazi regime for higher education, in lieu of secondary schools. By the Resolution of 3 December 1947, these pre-schools were incorporated in the universities, bringingextraneous ` teachers and students into the bodies of the universities.

Admission to the three.-year course presupposes no previous education other than the eight .grades of public school. Applicants are "delegated" by plant units or"demo- cratic mass organizations." Since 1951, all worker and farmer students have been housed in dormitories and have been subjected to a strict discipline. Russian is. a compulsory subject, a fact which often causes difficulties because many of the students do not have even a satisfactory command of the German language. 30/ In 1951/52 and 1952/53 the quotas for ABF students could not be filled; the factory units frequently are reluctant to delegate their better workers to the universities. 311 8. Education and the Economic Plans The German Soviet Zone's Two-Year Plan for 1949-50 and. Five-Year Plan for 1,951-55 have embraced the totality of national life and have been pre- paring for integration of the Zone with the Soviet Bloc. According to the Five- Year Plan, seven new higher schools are to be established and the total number of students is. to be increased from the 27, 000 of 1921 to 55, 000, of which the number of ABF students is to be 12, 000 by 1955. 32/ On 27 May 1953, Walter Ulbricht announced .a longterm. plan for higher education which had been worked out by the. State Planning Commission for the period from that time to 1960. Twenty-four new schools, one each of metallurgy, heavy machinery con- struction, coal mining, electrical engineering, optics, chemistry,, fh~eot 'schools of construction engineering, three of agriculture, four of medicine, one Qf foreign commerce and one of finance, are to be founded by 1960. The existing unive ?s tes a -etQ hE.eralarged and are to specialize in various fields (Schwerin unktsumversitaeten 33/ 9. Scholarships, Practical Training Periods, Placement The scholarship system is designed to direct the students into professions outlined. by the over-all plan. The 20 September 1951 Directives for Scholar- ships in Universities and Schools of Higher Education (Stipendienrichtlinien) introduced a complex schedule of scholarships, setting a basic amount and addi- tional amounts according to the importance of the field in the Five-Year Plan and according to the proficiency of the student. A scholarship obligates a student to serve after graduation in an assigned position and can be revoked at any time. 34/ Since 1952, practical periods of training (internships) of six weeks a year are compulsory for all students (.Decree on Practical Training Periods for Students in Universities and. Schools of Higher Education, 27 March 1952). 35/ The placement of the graduates is effected according to an oveasall plan. The ?Instruction for the Preparation of Plans for the Requirement, the Training and the Distribution of Scientific, Technical and Artistic Cadres in Univer- sities, Schools of Higher Education and Special Schools, issued 17 September 1952, provides for the preparation of an admission plan for 1952-56 and for Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01383A000200030002-0 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01383A000200030002-0 distribution by the State Planning Commission. The Sixth Executive. Instruction of. 1.5 August 1951. implementing the Decree on Reorganization, establishes comet missiions.for each school (the members of which are appointed by the Ministry of. the Interior, the Free German Youth, and the German Free Trade Union Association)and a central commission, attached to the office of the State Secre- tary for Higher Education. These commissions distribute the graduates ac- cording to the requirements of the Five-Year Plan, The assignment to posi- tions is obligatory,.and the graduate has merely a right of appeal. 36/ 10. Student Activities The leeway granted the German student in the past was not always used in a responsible way. It gave an opportunity for rounding out his. education, but it was all too. often absorbed by activities in the. traditional student clubs, which also afforded contacts with alumni members in influential positions. The student life was the time of choosing one's political association, the influ- ence of student politics traditionally being much greater in Germany than in Anglo-Saxon countries. The academic freedom, further, permitted the student to work his. way through school, particularly in the difficult post-war period. The Communist policy is decidedly opposed to private part-time work of the students, because it diverts them from their studies and the required social activities.. Only the students of non-privileged background with no scholar- ships. still have. to earn their way. The tight control of the student's time, therefore, may result in improving the general scholastic level, although also in stifling initiative and individual achievement. Although genuine multi-party elections have never existed in. the German Soviet Zone, democratic elections to the student councils (S.tudentenraete) were held between 1945 and .:1948. All the licens:ed,.c9aliti'6n parties, the National Democratic Party (NDP), the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Christian Democratic Union (CDU)', the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the German Farmers League (DBB), had student. sections which retained some independence until July 1948--longer than the parties themselves. 37/ Up to 1947, there were strong non-Communist majorities at almost all universities. 38/ In October 1946, the fictitious merger of the SPD and the KPD into the Socialist Unity Party (SED) was performed and the SPD groups had to disappear some time after. The puppet "bourgeois" parties were forced to form the National Bloc, which in turn came under SED control. The SED also leads the so- called "democratic mass organizations, " the Free German Youth (Freie Deutsche Ju end, FDJ), the Free German Trade Unions League (Freier Deutscher G ewer ks chaft sbund, FDGB), the Culture League for Democratic Renewal of Germany (Kulturbund fuer die demokratische Erneuerung Deutsch- lands, DFD), the Association for Mutual Help to Farmers (Verband fuer gegen - seitige Bauernhilfe, VdgB), the Association of Victims of the Nazi. regime (Verband der Verfol.gten des Naziregimes, VVN), the Society for German- Soviet Friendship (Gesellschaft fuer Deutsch-Sowjetische Freundschaft, GDSF), the World Peace Movement (Weltfriedensbewegung) and others. From 1948 on- ward, the SED has been gradually reorganized along Soviet lines so that it now controls the entire administration through party cells and persons in key posts. The SED university groups. are the best organized, comprising teachers, stu- dents_and university employees.

Soviet Zone of Occupation in Germany of December 1946, the student councils were to be-elected by free, direct and secret ballot, 39/ The -elections for. the school year 1946/47 and for 1947/48 were conducted accord- ing to this. regulation, but the 1948/49 election was manipulated to give SED candidates victories in almost all universities, 40/ Since, however, even these. elections. bad clearly shown the strength of resistance within the student body., a new election regulation was issued for the 1950/51 elections in Decem- ber 1949. Now all the candidates must belong to the National Bloc, the right of nomination of candidates is reserved to the allegedly non-partisan "mass organizations" and "partisan quarrels" must be excluded. According to offi- cials.tatistics.., 30 to 40 per rent of the students boycotted the one-party election of 1950, or turned in invalid, ballots. In this election, the one-party system was established and the student groups of the "bourgeois" political- parties, of which the CDU and the LDP had been centers of resistance, lost their importance. The leaders who have shown opposition have been expelled from the schools and jailed, or have fled to the Western Zone. 41/ 11. The FD J Among the "mass organization" student groups which existed in all the universities, the FDGB student section was the largest and most influential until the end of 1949. Subsequently, it was replaced by the student group of the Free German Youth (.Freie Deutsche Ju end,. FDJ)which is the equivalent of the Soviet Komsomol. The FDJ is a centralized organization, extending also to the Western Zone of Germany, and comprises 3, 300, 000 members. About 90, 000 of these are students, represented on the F'DJ Central Council (Zentralrat) by a "member for student and university affairs. " The student groups of the FDJ, which also embrace the student groups of the puppet coalition parties, have become the uniform student organiza- tions in all universities and are regarded as the representatives of the stu- dents at large. Membership in the FDJ, while ostensibly voluntary, is neces- sary if the students desire to remain in the university. 42/ Application blanks for membership are handed out with the registration papers. 43/ The students thus form part of a non-student organization, which in turn is subordinate to and controlled by the SED. The leading core of the FDJ student groups is the SED university group. At times the supremacy of the SED has had to be emphatically rubbed in. The SED journal Einheit wrote in 1950: "The comrades of the FDJ must understand, that the leading role lies with the Party. It is not a youth organization that marches at the head, but the party of the workers, farmers and toilers... the SED. " 44/ Since 24 September 1949, the student organization of the FDJ has represented the students of the Soviet Zone in the International Union of Students (IUS), an organization founded in 1946 as an allegedly non-partisan world union. 45/ The student groups of the FDJ, called the "revolutionary stock brigade at the universities, " by State Secretary for Higher Education Gerhard Harig 46/ are an effective tool to control the student body and to harness completely the energies of those who had joined only for opportunistic reasons. The FDJ has Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01383A000200030002-0 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01383A000200030002-0 has important' isifluences_Qn admission ofstudents, an scholar"ships, discipli.- nary matters and on final placement of graduates. It supervises the required practical train.ng periods, the "voluntary" pledges of students, the attendance of "basic social study" classes, and all extra-curricula activities, such as the Mensafunk (broadcasts in student cafeterias) and all sorts of compulsory recreation. Until the university reform of 1951, the FDJ was also. in charge of the study groups., which have been replaced by official seminar groups* xnangged by the. university staff. Directive No. 17, 8 November 1951, and Directive No. 26 on the.Forrnation and Tasks of Seminar Groups, 6 September. 1952, both issued by the State Secretariat for Higher Education, provided for "learning collectives" of about 30 members each. "Every student becomes a member of a seminar group with the beginning of his first year, which group as a rule continues to exist. as. a firmly established. collective during the entire duration of his studies, " states Section 1 of Directive No. 26. 47/ The role of the FDJ in these groups. is now legally established. The secretaries of the seminar groups are nominated by the FDJ. They keep "group books, " which are files on the attendance and performance of every student. 12. Pre-Military Training Besides. the student groups of the other officially-sponsored mass organi- zations such as the. Culture League and the Society for German-Soviet Friend- ship, the organizations concerned with pre-military training have gained in- creasing importance since 1952. Walter Ulbricht said in 1952, "I wish that many young people would win the Distinction for Good Knowledge, but I also wish that many good sharp - shooters would come from the ranks of the FDJ. " Besides the obligatory phys- ical' education provided by the curricula (two hours weekly, with a final examination), extra-curricular military sport activities have been promoted widely. Groups for target practice, war games, glider training, parachute jumping, etc., have been formed for boys and girls within the workers' and farmers' faculties. 48/ In 1952, the Sport Association Science (Sportvereinigung Wissenschaft) was founded and reached a membership of 200, 000 at universities and similar schools. It was designed to create a mass basis for military sports and it arranges annual nation-wide contests, which are called "Spartakiads" as in Soviet Russia. 49/ Finally, on 7 August 1952, the Society for Sport and Technology (Gesell- schaft fuer Sport and Technik, GST) was :formed. It is controlled by the Minis- try of the Interior and has its branches in all universities and higher schools, some of them highly specialized. 50/ Its purpose is the preparation of students for service in the People's Police, the Volkspolizei. There are training groups for tactical exercises, target practice, horseback riding, motoring, radio technology, teletyping, flying, glider training, sailing, etc. What used to be called seminars--J. e. meetings and. discussions of advanced students in specialized fields (and establishments devoted to such meetings),-- are called now special seminars (Spezialseminare).

INSTITUTIONS In the following list of institutions of higher learning in the German Demo- cratic Republic, more elaborate treatment is given to the six traditional uni- versities-- East Berlin, Greifswald, Halle, Jena,, Leipzig and Rostock--and to the Dresden Technical University and the Freiberg Academy of Mines than to the other, less important schools. The border line between specialized schools of university rank and tech- nicalschools. of secondary level is somewhat arbitrary and varies in available references.. The following special schools are not included in this listing: the technical schools (Ingenieur.schulen) in Apolda, Cottbus, Eisleben (Mining), Goerlitz, Magdeburg, Neu-Strelitz and Wismar, as well as the Farmers Col- lege (B.auernhochschule) in Paretz (Brandenburg).

Berlin - Humboldt University (also called Linden University) Berlin C2, Unter den Linden 6. Tel,52-0291 History: Founded in 1810 by the Prussian king during the Napoleonic Wars, after Prussia had lost the University of Halle. When after the formation of the German State Berlin was made the capital of the Reich, it became the largest of the "big- town universities, " equipped with outstanding institutes and establishments. It counted among its teachers many scholars of international fame, such as Fichte, Hegel,. Schleier- macher, Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt, the Grimm brothers, Hufeland, Savigny, Du Bois-Raymond, Weier- strass, A. W. von Hoffmann, Bunsen, Virchow, Helmholtz, Ernst Fischer, Waldeyer, Robert Koch, Nernst, Kirchhoff, Mommsen, von Ranke, Eduard Meyer, Harnack, Paulsen, Schmoller, von Wagner, Spranger, Planck, Einstein, Haber. In the fall of 1948, 22 teachers and a great number of students left the Humboldt University and established the Free University of Berlin in the West Sector. It was opened on 4 December 1948, during the Berlin Blockade. 52/ The Technical University of Berlin -Charlottenburg (West Sector) added a Department of Agriculture and took over part of the staff and some of the university establishments in the West Sector.
