Ivan Pederin
Abstract
The Croatian author Milan Begović , at the beginning of the 20th century , was a teacher in a secondary school in Split. He looked for an opportunity for a scholarship in order to go abroad and learn how theatre was managed. He wrote applications to the Governor of the Provinceof Dalmatia in Zadar, then to Vatroslav Jagić, who was a Professor in Vienna to achieve this goal and get a sabbatical leave.
His application was forwarded to the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Education in Vienna, who favoured him since already at that time he was a respected writer. The Ministry made inquiries about him with the Governor of Zadar and Begović managed to obtain his sabbatical leave, and so he left for Hamburg to observe a prominent theatre there. His stay was of great importance for his future plays and theatrical work.
At the same time Grga Novak, a historian also applied for a scholarship abroad. They both later became prominent intellectuals in Croatia.
