It will have become clear to those who have read the various chapters of this book
Z contributed by German students and German professors, that the transformation of
Z the German student of pre-war days, with his care-free nature and the almost exu- f
E berant manifestation of his joy of living into the work-student of today, garbed in 1
Z working clothes and partaking of a frugal meal in one of the student canteens, has 5
