1879

1. His own account spent the summer between the Realschule and the Technische Hochschule wholly on philosophical study GA 28, chapter 3 (the volume; the document itself is not served)
   In his own words (APC1928)

   The summer months of 1879, from the end of my Realschule period until my entrance into the *Technische Hochschule*, I spent entirely in such philosophical studies.

   Die Sommermonate im Jahre 1879, vom Ende meiner Realschulzeit bis zum Eintritte in die technische Hochschule, brachte ich ganz mit solchen philosophischen Studien zu.

2. His own account read Goethe's Faust for the first time in his nineteenth year, at Schröer's prompting, and soon came to know Schröer himself Vienna GA 28, chapter 3 (the volume; the document itself is not served) derived from the age he gives: his nineteenth year runs from 27 February 1879, the year he entered the Technische Hochschule
   In his own words (APC1928)

   In truth, until my nineteenth year, when I was inspired by Schröer, I had never been drawn to this work.

   Ich war tatsächlich bis zu meinem neunzehnten Jahre, in dem ich durch Schröer angeregt worden bin, nicht bis zu diesem Werke vorgedrungen.

3. His own account also attended single lectures at the University of Vienna, Robert Zimmermann's and Franz Brentano's on the same subject Vienna GA 28, chapter 3 (the volume; the document itself is not served) undated in the text; the chapter places it in the first Hochschule year, which it dates 1879, and says he could not keep it up long
   In his own words (APC1928)

   I was now able to attend also certain lectures at the university.

   Ich konnte nun auch einzelne Vorlesungen an der Universität hören.
