Polish educational law of the interwar period specifid conditions for academic careers. Interwar legislation clearly distinguished academic education and assigned it a separate academic status based on the legal grounds used exclusively for these institutions. In this connection, a formal notion of a university teacher and his career were defied. The name “lecturer” concerned a person authorized to teach due to a postdoctoral degree or appointment as a professor. This situation leads to the conclusion that in the interwar period the concept of the “lecturer” was limited as many members of academic staff, who did not have a postdoctoral degree, were eliminated from this defiition. Trying to explain this state, it can be concluded that the professors were appointed by the legislature to be responsible not only for conducting lectures and seminars, but also tutorials and workshops. The task of the auxiliary academic staff was to support research professors in the tasks of teaching and assist in research, pedagogical and organizational work as well as execute their directives. The functioning of a university was decided about only by the professors, who alone of all university employees had the right to be the part of its authorities. Two academic schools acts of 1920 and 1933 defied conditions of taking positions of an associate, ordinary and honorary professor and a postdoctoral degree as a condition for the readership and the right to teach.
