Abstract
The Brauer-Speiser theorem asserts that the Schur index of a real-valued complex irreducible character of a finite group is either $1$ or $2$. In this paper we present a brief proof of this result. From this it follows that the $K$-central nontrivial division algebra components of group algebras over a real algebraic number field $K$ are quaternions.
