Estonian Jewish community, historically tiny and scholarly neglected, constituted 0,4% of total interwar Estonian population. Relation between those two numerical indexes - ratio of Jewish population and students - displays that Jews outnumbered relatively any other ethnic student body at Tartu University in the given period. High regard of education, tendences of "over-schooling" and academic "over-achieving" had been traditonal elements in the build-up of Jewish social capital since the age of modernization. Prosopographic study of Jewish students at Tartu University, considering various biographical variables from the archive, aims to define and characterize the social mobility of Estonian Jewish intelligentsia.
