tions a high school of commerce was built, and the development of the city, after the Trianon decision attracted to Miskolc the teacher training college and the academy of law from Eperjes. The Jewish also established a teacher training school, which was unique in Hungary. Many from amongst the old students of the schools continued their studies, or worked abroad, and when they returned, they were able to strengthen the intellectual life of Miskolc. The scientific activities of the teachers are recorded in annual books of the schools, on memorial plaques and on gravestones of the cemeteries. By the beginning of the 21st century the city has become a real centre of knowledge, with the leadership of the University of Miskolc. It was established in 1949, and beside the traditional mining, métallurgie and machine engineering faculties, the faculties of history and law have their quarter of a century past as well. Within the university there are faculties of art and music and a college for health officers too. The book introduces ten high schools, and provides facts about twenty technical schools. Most of them were founded in the 20th century, and are being changed according to the needs of the 21st. A poem that deals with the history of the city from the beginning of the 19th century emphasizes the hospitality of the habitants of Miskolc, describes the world of the inns and the atmosphere of the city markets. The first inns were built alongside the roads leading into the city. Drawings, documents of renovations or sometimes only legends keep their memories alive. Postcards were published of almost all of the hotels, coffee bars and confectioner's in the early 19th century. The contemporary press also recorded important information, like advertisements of different programmes. Hospitality and entertainment of guests were evergreen topics of which both the guest and the host liked to talk. Famous old inns and hotels were at Csabai gate, Zsolcai gate, and Szentpéteri gate. The "Zöldfa" (Greenwood), the "Három Rózsa" (Three Roses) the "Budapest and the Fiume hotels were built alongside the roads that led through the city. The oldest hotel of the downtown was the "Fekete Sas" (Black Eagle), which opened in the 18th century and was destroyed in the beginning of the 1970s. The buildings of the 20th century "Abbázia" and the "Korona" (Crown) are standing still, and serve other purposes. The history (renovations) of the "Hotel Pannónia" on the comer of Kossuth and Széchenyi streets can be followed from the 16th century and it welcomes guests still today. During the last few years a garage and a conference hall has been added to the old hotel in a separate building. Outside the city, in Tapolca and Lillafüred, many restaurants and guest-houses have been built recently, till in the city centre there are only few new restaurants and hotels. The "Lévai Panzió", the 'Öreg Miskolcz" (Old Miskolc) and the "City Hotel" combine the former coffee bars and confectioner shops and described in the book too. The main street used to be rich in confectioner shops. Swiss roots supported the beginnings of t his field in the early 19th century, and Italian connections added another colour to that in the 20th- The interior design of the old "Trillhaas" confectioner shop, a real masterpiece followed a style of St. Petersburg and was made by local craftsmen. The "Roráriusz" confectioner shop was a country-wide famous meeting place for artists, actors and journalists until the 1970s.
