Frank gave an overview of the course of Czech studies so far. He explained that a decision of the Pührer of the year 194l made it possible to study protectorate Czechs at German universities. By admitting Czechs to study since the summer semester 1994l students today a total of about 6oo Czechs at the universities of the Reich. The position of young people in some academic calls of the Protectorate is partly so bad that an extension of the Czech studies is to be desired. The previous experiences show that this is possible. There are certainly certain difficulties in some places of higher education, but in most cases they are not of a fundamental nature. They are mostly due to the fact that the supervising German students do not always carry out their task in the sense that the interests of the Czech people require it. This is why it is likely that these difficulties can be substantially remedied if the supervising students are trained in an appropriate way, prepared for their task and checked in time for their work.
