Abstract
This chapter relates how the board of the Carlsberg Foundation, consisting of five university professors, managed to run the breweries donated to the foundation by J. C. Jacobsen and Carl Jacobsen in the time after 1914 when the founders were gone. It also tells about the worries of the “professors” as to whether they could actually compete with a professionally-managed shareholder company. It tells about the ups and down in relation to Tuborg and how Carlsberg gradually became the bigger of the two. It also includes the story of how Carlsberg adapted itself to the conditions of hostile occupation and had to dismiss its CEO.

These records (called Centralkartoteket) were established by the resistance movement and led by a well-known professor of classical philology Carsten Høeg. The aim was to collect information about persons, companies, and acts considered suspicious from a ‘national’ point of view and which should be investigated in order to establish whether undue collaboration had taken place that should be prosecuted after the Occupation.
