Vojtech (Béla) Tilkovský, the art historian, art critic, radio editor and journalist, is not well known among art historians. His primary research focused on painter Dominik Skutezky (Skutecký), about whom he wrote his masters’ thesis and dissertation, and in 1954 his monograph. Tilkovský also sought out teaching positions. After several attempts at the Slovak School of Technology in 1955, he became a part-time lecturer of art history at his alma mater (Comenius University). His art research of the 19th century was interrupted several times, first by the Slovak State, the defence of his position within this state and subsequently by a change in the political situation in 1948. Although he could not publish continuously, his publishing activities in Slovakia, Czechia and Hungary are relatively abundant and essential for this period.

This article is an in-depth probe into A. Güntherová-Mayerová’s pedagogical activities at the Comenius University in Bratislava, which affected an entire generation of our art historians. It based on the summarizing and verifying of known, but especially new information acquired through the study of various archive sources. It strives to provide answers to questions arising from our existing knowledge about the aforementioned issues starting with the clarification of the true extent of her work since the second half of the 1930s until 1961. The character and extent of her teaching is presented against the historical background of our university instruction of art history. Emphasis is placed on the crucial period of her university work in the socialist era of the Czechoslovak Republic in the1950s with the significant professionalization of education in the discipline, which we have partly inherited today, accompanied by its strong political deformation. Unfortunately, her forced dismissal from the university in 1961 meant the loss of the universal expert with vision, ability and a team capable of building a strong art-historical scientific-educational institute.

This paper deals with the process of institutionalization of geography at the Faculty of Arts, Comenius University in Bratislava. We start from the understanding of the institutionalization of the academic discipline as a process of establishing and definitively occupying the chair by a full professor and establishing the seminar as the basic institutional unit of the faculty. We discuss the broader context of the underlying factors of the institutionalization of geography at universities in Central Europe. We will then highlight the initial steps in the institutionalization of geography at the Comenius University in Bratislava. Based on detailed research in the archives of Comenius University, we will show that the process of institutionalization of geography was spread over a period of five years from January 1922 to December 1926. Since there were no specialists in this field in Slovakia, the establishment and development of geography was possible only thanks to the help of Czech professors from Charles University in Prague. A new finding is that the ethnographer Karel Chotek was the main initiator and actor of the process of institutionalization of geography, which disrupts the hitherto traditional narrative about the key role of Jiří Viktor Daneš in this process. The Faculty of Arts made efforts to stabilize the chair of geography and proposed that F. Štůla could be appointed associate professor of general geography. This proposal was accepted in December 1926, which solved the issue of occupying the chair. In June 1926, the statutes of the Geographical Seminar and the Pro-Seminar were also approved by the Ministry of Education and National Enlightenment, so that the process of institutionalization of geography at Comenius University in Bratislava can be considered complete.
