In 1916, he left for Ljubljana, away from the front, passed his baccalaureate there in 1922 and took university courses in Slavic studies, Romance languages and philosophy. He founded a magazine for secondary-school pupils, led literary circles and in 1925 became one of the editors of the review Mladina, which he wanted to open up to the left.
