Sažetak
The aim of this research was to reconstruct the picture of the student population from the area of Dalmatia at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb from the foundation of the modern university in Zagreb in 1874 until the end of the Monarchy in 1918. The basis of the research were student registration forms (nacijonali), with a focus on those students who listed their settlement in Dalmatia, the then Austrian province, as their place of birth and/or hometown. Based on the students’ personal data, it was possible to analyse their social, religious, linguistic structure, previous education, length of study, the issue of scholarships and payment of school fees, all in the context of the socio-political conditions in the country at the time. The total number of students from Dalmatia at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb in the period from 1874 to 1918 was viewed in the context of the Austrian regulations on the reciprocity of diplomas obtained in the Hungarian part of the Monarchy with those obtained at the universities of the Austrian part of the Monarchy, which had direct consequences for students from Dalmatia. The total number of students who were born or declared that they come from Dalmatia enrolled at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb in this period was 926. These were very modest numbers at the beginning, and have increased significantly in the period from the beginning of the 20th century until the beginning of the First World War due to the introduction of some concessions for students from the Austrian part of the Monarchy in 1904, as well as the overall sociopolitical circumstances of that period. The issue of reciprocity was also one of the reasons for short duration of studies in Zagreb (most students studied for only one or two semesters). The quantitative method analysis of the personal data of enrolled students from Split showed that the vast majority of them (91%) declared themselves Roman Catholics by religious affiliation, while 86% of them registered Croatian as their mother tongue. According to the social structure, the academic youth from Dalmatia came from different social strata, with most of them coming from the families of public servants (one third) and families of landowners and “liberal professions”. However, the analysis also shows the penetration of other social groups into the academic world, such as those from merchant-craftsman families and the sons of farmers. According to previous education, the largest number came from Split and Zadar gymnasiums. In any case, it was a social group that represented the backbone of the intellectual circle of future Dalmatia and that paved the way for future generations of students from Dalmatia with their academic education acquired in Zagreb.
