 | | In August 1946, a group of former Austrian university professors who had emigrated to the United States sent a "Memorandum on the Reconstruction of Austrian Universities" to the President of Austria, Karl Renner, the Chancellor, Leopold Figl, and the Minister of Education, Felix Hurdes. |
 | | A little later, the League sent a voluminous list with hundreds of names and additional information about each scholar to the Ministry of Education: age, qualification, special fields of research, former affiliation and present location were listed. |
 | | A few social scientists and humanists listed there were: Ernst Gombrich, Walter Kris, and Hans Tietze in art history; Karl Popper and Friedrich Waismann in philosophy; Karl Bühler, psychology; Joseph H. Furth, Robert Heine-Geldern, Felix Kaufmann, Alfred Schütz, and Eric Voegelin in sociology; and Adolf Kozlik, Oskar Morgenstern in economics and Robert Kann in history. |
