Abstract
There have been several strikes of students of Veterinary Faculty University of Zagreb. Some of them were remembered in particular when in the year 1927 student supported their professors in endeavor to hold their Faculty in Zagreb. The strike in year 1936 was minor, but the most serious strike happened in the year 1954. Namely, the newspapers from that time mentioned that a problems of studying have attracted minor attention, in spite that sympathies for students at that time were obvious. Aforementioned strike was aimed to improvement of study regime including changes of their plan and program. Namely, it was underlined that in year 1950 that out of 180 students 120 had to fail studying year. Moreover, if such requirements remained in 1951 it would resulted that only 1 student out of 180 could satisfied requirements for entering next semester. In the year 1954 out of 184 students, 120 did not satisfied requirements for entering into 8th semester (pathophysiology and pathology) and 90 of them did not pass single exam. For studying and passing exam in microbiology it takes one month, for parasitology two months, for pathological anatomy 6 months (Martičić cited 6-8 months) and for pathological physiology 2 months. This strike significantly improved quality of studying and it was reason that Veterinary faculty was under forcedly administration.
