During the time period in question, 1850-1940, the sequence and level of the steps for the different academic careers in Germany align more and more.

The data are presented in a way which Shows the manifold of its usefulness. First the various factors influencing differences in growth will be analyzed: demographic, secular and career factors. Then the available graduates of these careers will be explored in terms of how the final examinations, the failure ratio and the final marks developed. Finally the development of another important factor, namely the age structure will be described.
