The Dislocated Transylvanian Hungarian Student Body29 Bárdi, “A Keleti Akció,” p. 158, 178.30 The universities taken into account are: Budapest University (together withTheology), the Technical University, the University of Economics, and, in additionto the above-mentioned ones, the Veterinary College.31 Olga Molnár, “A fõiskolai hallgatók szociális és gazdasági viszonyaiBudapesten” (The social and material conditions of university students inBudapest), Statisztikai közlemények vol. 54 (1930), pp. 34-35.32 Molnár, “A fõiskolai hallgatók,” pp. 34-38.33 Only 564 were Romanian citizens. 423 of them went to Budapest.34 See Asztalos, “A fõiskolai hallgatók az 1926-27-es tanévben” (University studentsin the 1926-1927 academic year), Magyar statisztikai szemle 14, pp. 1019-1030. Having in mind the spectacular divergence that results from the use ofdifferent criteria, it may safely be estimated that there were around 1,300-1,400students of Transylvanian origins in 1926-1927. As we approach the end of thedecade, though, it is likely for such students to have switched to Hungarian citizenshipbefore they enrolled in the university. Hence the low rate of representation,if only citizenship was regarded.35 See József Asztalos, “A fõiskolai hallgatók az 1927-28 tanévben,” pp. 349-355.36 This was due not so much to the historical association of Szeged and Kolozsvárin university matters, as to more practical reasons, such as proximity and financialconsiderations.37 See for instance the sources cited in footnote 11.38 Bárdi, “A Keleti Akció,” p. 158.SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHYAsztalos, József. “A fõiskolai hallgatók az 1926-27-es tanévben” (University studentsin the 1926-1927 academic year).
