Sažetak
This paper investigates the actions of the student body from the Royal University of Franz Joseph I. in Zagreb during the National Movement of 1903, with emphasis on their activity in Zagreb. It is based on the relevant literature about the Movement of 1903 as well as less known sources on the student population from the Archives of the Rector’s office of the University of Zagreb and the Archives of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Not only does it give an account on the participation of the student body in the assembly movement in the spring months of 1903, but it also puts special emphasis on the incident of 20th May 1903 when police forces entered the university building and arrested the students present at the time. It was seen as an act that brutally tarnished the dignity of the University and the students, through the Rector and the University Senate, insisted on an apology which was given three years later. The paper paints a picture of the consequences the student involvement in the Movement of 1903 and the Movement itself had on the student body. The author examines the sanctions the police imposed on the students, the withdrawal of scholarships for the demonstrators and their subsequent reactivation. Examining the Movement as a whole, it can be concluded that the student body certainly was not the only driving force behind the National Movement of 1903/1904 in Croatia, but that it did play an important role, especially in its initial phase.
