Chapter 4 ♦  147 philosophical faculty (see table 5). At the level of full professors, the faculties of the University of Vienna aimed to appoint more scholars with varying educational backgrounds, a phenomenon I scrutinize in more detail below. Vienna was also the largest exporter of young academics (both gradu- ates and Privatdozenten) to other universities. Similarly, Viennese graduates constituted a considerable number of the Privatdozenten at the other German- language universities in the empire, accounting for almost a quarter of the habilitations in Graz and more than half of the habilitations in medicine tAble 4 Places of graduation for scholars habilitating at different universities, 1848–1918—cont’d Graduated from Habilitating at German Empire (%) Russian Empire (%) Prague: Czech (%) Cracow (%) L’viv (%) Total (%)1 Medical faculty Vienna 0 0 0 0 0 93 Graz 5 0 0 0 0 88 Innsbruck 0 0 0 0 0 100 Prague 3 0 n/a 0 0 97 Prague: German 0 0 0 0 0 99 Prague: Czech 0 0 76 1 0 95 Cracow 1 2 0 80 1 96 L’viv 3 14 0 54 16 95 Philosophical faculty Vienna 12 0 0 0 0 91 Graz 11 0 0 0 0 92 Innsbruck 7 0 0 0 0 91 Prague 9 0 n/a 0 0 85 Prague: German 0 0 0 0 0 81 Prague: Czech 1 0 79 0 0 92 Cracow 14 9 0 53 7 89 L’viv 18 3 0 7 42 78 Note: Chernivtsi was excluded owing to its low number of habilitations. Only the first habilitation was considered. The percentage includes all Privatdozenten, i.e., including those with an unknown place of graduation or who graduated at other academies; to cal- culate the percentage of missing cases, subtract the numbers in the right column from 100. Russian Empire magister/candidate degrees are counted as graduations. n/a, not applicable. 1 The totals do not sum to 100 because places of graduation are unknown for some schol- ars, and a few graduated at other universities. To calculate the percentage of missing cas- es, subtract the numbers in the right column from 100.
