ABSTRACT
This essay positions the Hungarian numerus clausus law (1920) in the narrative framework of de-emancipation and in the transnational context of its time. The Jewish quota as a measure to reverse Jewish educational mobility and social integration was not unique to Hungary. Neither was the peregrination (student migration) of Jewish youth as a response. However, the role this migration and its community support mechanism played in Jewish life was particularly significant in Hungary.
