A short analysis is given of the evolvement of intelligentsia in the world; the process is then described in detail based on Ethiopian data. The attitude of Ethiopian intellectuals towards reforms and means of their realization is examined. Special attention is given to communication between the intellectuals and the monarch as the only person capable of effective reforms from their point of view. Means of this communication including newspapers, books, and pamphlets are thoroughly analyzed.
