Following within the wake on the Ottoman Empire's demise and also a prolonged war of independence Turkey was established as a Republic in 1923. For its system of larger education the Republic inherited some 300+ Islamic medreses, one of which was converted into a fledgling university in the turn from the century, and three military academies, a single expanded into a civil engineering college about 1909. By the early 1930s the government was ready to address the modernization of its program of larger education. Because there had been handful of Turkish citizens sufficiently educated to achieve Turkey's medical/educational reforms, the new government took Europe's tragedy and turned it into an opportunity from which it could benefit. Some 190 eminent intellectuals for whom America was out of reach as a result of restrictive immigration laws and wide spread anti-Semitic hiring bias at its universities have been invited to Turkey to create its method of larger education. As well as members of the family and staff these invitations saved the lives of over 1000 people today. Yet this essential episode of Turkey's function within the Shoah, in which Albert Einstein played a role, is really a truth hardly recognized outside of Turkey and has scarcely been noticed by historians. [1]
Historians of higher education may have difficulty matching so substantial a qualitative transformation implemented in the national level in so short a time frame. A single country's good loss was yet another country's acquire and also a third country's rewards delayed as most of the intellectals who discovered refuge in Turkey ended up within the US at war's end.
The concept of building a entirely modern day method of larger education modeled on West European universities was determined by the Rapport sur l'universite? d'Istanbul written by Swiss educationalist Albert Malche? in 1932 at the Turkish government's request. Based on Malche's suggestions, on July 31, 1933 , the Dar'ül fünun was officially closed by government decree as a implies of canceling all current faculty contracts. The pretty subsequent day Istanbul University was opened working with Dar'ül fünun's physical plant using a modest fraction of its original faculty and more than 30 planet renowned émigré German professors.
The vast majority of émigré professors were in medicine, mathematics, and natural science. There had been fewer émigrés inside the faculties of law plus the arts. Starting in the 1933-1934 academic year, Germany's exiled professors served as directors in eight of twelve fundamental science Institutes, together with six directors of Istanbul's seventeen clinics at the Faculty of Medicine. Even so in a report submitted within the Fall of 1933 by Professor Philipp Schwartz, the entire Faculty of Medicine skilled scarcities of equipment and buildings. There had been only 30 incredibly old microscopes in all seven fundamental science disciplines. The clinics were in undesirable shape, neglected and beneath equipped. This observation by an émigré professor was in part confirmed independently.
Couple of from the academics found their strategy to Ankara. This was due mostly for the truth that the University of Ankara was mainly undeveloped land. Only several institutes and scientific organizations existed. The disciplinary borderlines were not as clearly defined in Ankara as they have been in Istanbul. As opposed to those invited towards the University of Istanbul by the Notgemeinschaft, most of the scientists, architects, and artists came to Ankara by way of the auspices on the official German and Austrian legations. In Ankara, the most significant share of emigrants was to become found inside the state college of music followed by the faculty of arts and also the health-related institutes.
A few decades after the Ottoman empire took its final breadth and because the common exodus from Germany denuded Germany of its premier institutions of higher mastering, the University of Istanbul was rightfully viewed as and sincerely called "the finest German University inside the planet." Astonishingly, courses started in November, 1933.

The new professors from the university in Turkey '''Le Journal d'Orient, October 20 1933.
New professors invited from Europe to teach at the University have started to arrive in Istanbul. Professor Hirsch who will teach maritime commerce at the Law Faculty arrived the day before at the university exactly where he had talks with the dean and his colleagues. He stated that he will reside within a Turkish milieu in Istanbul in order that he can find out Turkish within 3 years and that he considered Turkey as his personal nation. Each of the foreign professors is going to be at their posts by 25th of October. Le Journal d'Orient October 20, 1933. Courtesy Rockefeller [Foundation] Archives Center.

The general exodus of scholars had so depleted Germany's premier higher-learning institutions of professors that the University of Istanbul was rightfully deemed and sincerely known as "the very best German University in the planet." There is certainly no doubt that their collective influence on all aspects of Turkey's system of greater education, heath care delivery, and in the arts was monumental and it is actually considerably appreciated inside Turkey and among its intellectual Diaspora these days. Modern Turkey sports 72 universities lots of equal and some improved than most universities in the US.
To day Turkey is quite a few decades ahead of western countries, especially the United states, with regards to percentages of females working as physicians, (26%), engineers (27%), architects (33 %), lawyers (30%), and university professors (42%). That is also true at the senior level administration of universities, government agencies, and management of private sector corporations.

Ever since the republican revolution in Turkey progressive leaders of Turkish believed have become increasingly conscious that the University plus the Healthcare School have been behind times and inadequate. There has been an awesome deal of spoken and written criticism by Turks in the University and Medical School. In the course of the previous year this culminated within a thorough investigation by the Turkish Government carried out by Professor [Albert] Malche of Switzerland. [Formerly Director of Education of your Canton of Geneva.] The Government is now placing into effect Professor Malche's suggestions. [Among these was the need to develop a contemporary university center of very first quality] So as to have an effective reorganization having said that it was essential to abolish the old University for the reason that based on law each of the professors held office for life. With all the abolition with the University the old Arabic name "Dar'ülfünun" has also been abolished. (Emphasis added) Courtesy Rockefeller [Foundation] Archives Center.
