Breaking with the tradition Germany Phone Number List of popular universities, a Socialist School was founded in 1909 by a few students, sponsored in particular by the Germanist Charles Andler, professor at the Sorbonne. This initiative, driven by the desire to put science at the service of politics, was a Germany Phone Number List success. But the outbreak of the war in 1914 put an end to it. Two earlier attempts, on the other hand, quickly fizzled out: one in 1899, in the wake of the Dreyfus Affair, a crisis that had alerted Dreyfusist socialists to the dangers inherent in a Germany Phone Number List lack of education; the other in 1908, promoted by the socialists of the Federation of the Seine. 1909 is a good year.

It is concerned with uniting the Germany Phone Number List intellectual and working-class socialist youth in the common study of the socialist movement in France and abroad and with giving it, through extensive information extended to all fields of the social sciences,35. The Popular Universities had Germany Phone Number List prefigured the Socialist School even before the Dreyfus affair gave them the boost we know. Decimated from the years 1903-1904, they were replaced by the Socialist School, which tried to reactivate their spirit avoiding sinking into their failures, starting Germany Phone Number List with their pedagogical deficiencies.
