The Impact of the Prussian and German University Administrations on the Austrian University System between 1875 and 1914

Describes the development of the Austrian university system 1875-1914. German influence was detrimental to Austrian universities' hopes for improving standards, higher status and autonomy. German scholarship was linked with German nationalism – increasing conflict between German-speaking and non-Germanspeaking institutions in Austria. German scholarship commanded high respect and German universities attracted professors away. University expansion created a market for professors and the Austrian universities were at a disadvantage.
