I was struck by the background of the fathers of students admitted to l'École française d'Athènes (EfA) in its first half century (1846-96). Here is a selection:
- teachers in secondary education: 22%
- doctors / pharmacists: 11%
- legal profession: 9%
- academics: 9%
- financial sector: 2%
- clergy: 17%
- legal profession: 11%
- landed / farmers: 9%
- financial sector: 6%
- merchants: 6%
- craftsmen: 6%
- school teachers: 5%
- academics: 4%
