The Mittelschüler-Kartell-Verband der katholischen farbentragenden Studentenkorporationen Österreichs or simply Mittelschüler-Kartellverband (MKV) is an Austrian umbrella organisation of Catholic male student fraternities (Studentenverbindung). It was founded in 1933 on 9 September. In contrast to umbrella organisations like, for example the "Cartellverband der katholischen deutschen Studentenverbindungen", the fraternities of the MKV do not consist of students from universities but of students from the upper levels of Austrian grammar schools. Every Member of a fraternity in the MKV wears a ribbon as well as a specific cap, whose shape may vary according to the corporation, either coloured in the fraternity's colours. Most commonly every corporation uses three specific colours. Currently more than 20.000 students or former students are members of more than 160 fraternities in the MKV. As the MKV was founded upon the federalistic principle, these fraternities are organised in 9 provincial sub organisations according to the official Austrian federal provinces. ==Principles== Every fraternity of the MKV has to be founded upon four principles: * religio: the fraternity and all its members publicly adhere to the Roman Catholic faith; * scientia: the pursuit of an academic education is common to all of its members; * amicitia: a lifelong friendship between all the members of the fraternity as long as they live; * patria: patriotism towards Austria within a European context. The fraternities of the Cartellverband historically do not practise academic fencing (Mensur) because it was forbidden by the Roman Catholic Church. The fraternities only accept men into the organisation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mittelschüler-Kartellverband」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
