Insight

“ Nowhere in the world ... is the student ... so much ... freedom granted as fortunately at German universities. However, some dear, highly gifted young men who were perhaps a little too soft-tempered in their youth perished because no one cared about them and no one had the duty to look after them. We now thought that without the least restriction of this freedom, a correlate to full independence must be created through free alliances, country teams and similar associations. ... But we also hoped to achieve other goals through this, namely to awaken public spirit and strengthen character. You only get to know people very precisely in a closer community. ... But we did not consider the application of colors to be irrelevant or indifferent, but rather to be very important and to carry it out, although we knew that this would evoke the greatest and wildest storm against us. ... We felt that it would be good if the young person got used to expressing his point of view and his opinion openly and freely at an early stage, i. H. To show one's colors. ... Apart from the first period of general excitement, it was mostly those who were called the obscures at the time that were irritated and even outraged. With their weak nerves they feared that they would ... in the end be forced to be torn out of their dear, comfortable reserve and indecision. "
