Summary/Abstract: Gojko Stojčević (Patriarch Paul) enrolled at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Belgrade in 1936. On enrolling, he stated he was of Yugoslav nationality and Serbia-Orthodox faith, but later on, in all his semester papers he gave his nationality as Serbian. Soon after starting his studies he became the member of the Choir of the Students of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology. In late 1938 he became the secretary of the Choir, and thus, through the minutes he composed, also a historical source for the activities of the Choir and the relations between members which were often severely spoiled. In early 1940 due to disagreement in the matters of the choir’s personnel he left the post of the Choir’s secretary and refused to take up the post of its vice-chairman. In the second half of 1940 he ceased to be the member of the Choir. He graduated in 1942. He was an excellent student.
