Slavonians between Non-Slavonians (Infancy of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies in London)
Abstrakt
At the beginning of the autumn term of 1915 the annual calendar published by King´s College announced the formation of a "School of Slavonic" was originally to consist only of four posts in the Russian and Serbian languages. The lecture, entitled "The Problems of Small Nations in the European Crisis" was given by the distinguished Slav savant, Prof.
T.G. Masaryk.
The paper has been focused on the relations between Slavonian and Not-Slavonians staff of the School namely on director Sir Bernard Pares (1867 - 1949). Based on the correspondence of some Slavonian lecturers (e.g.
Otakar Odložilík) is it trying to recontruct the feel at school in the 20th of the past century.
