Legal contacts between the Jagiellonian University and University of Wrocław in 1811–1914 were not very frequent. They involved mainly people who graduated in law from the Jagiellonian University and came to Wrocław to pursue further studies. Most of them were future professors of the Jagiellonian University. This occurred primarily in the first half of the 19th century, during the popularity of the historical school in the German study of law and of Hegel’s views, which made the University of Wrocław rather attractive. An important role in these contacts was played by Jerzy Samuel Bandtkie’s patronage in Kraków and Carl August Dominik Unterholzner’s patronage in Wrocław. In the first half of the 19th century these were both personal and scholarly contacts, in the second — mainly scholarly contacts. Contacts that went in the opposite direction, from Wrocław to Kraków, were limited largely to Józefat Zielonacki, a professor at both universities.

The credit for establishing archaeology as an academic discipline at the Jagiellonian University goes to Józef Łepkowski (1826-1894), an antiquarian, art historian, and archaeologist, who obtained his habilitation there in 1863 in the field of “medieval archaeology with application to Slavic and Polish monuments” and, as a private docent, was granted the right to lecture. After his appointment as an associate professor in 1867, Józef Łepkowski became the head of the newly created JU Chair of Archaeology. The Chair, initially provisional, gained the status of a permanent one in 1874. In 1867 Łepkowski organised Gabinet Archeologiczny (the Archaeological Collection), with a wealth of archaeological finds from all over Polish lands, and with objects of art as well, which provided necessary basis for his teaching. After Łepkowski’s death, lectures in prehistoric archaeology did not resume until 1905, when Włodzimierz Demetrykiewicz (1859-1937) obtained his habilitation in the field of “prehistoric archaeology”. Demetrykiewicz, who attended Łepkowski’s lectures, was an educated lawyer but chose a career as a conservationist of monuments and prehistorian. Until 1933 he remained the main organizer of education in archaeology and prehistory at the Jagiellonian University. Later, the fate of the academic prehistoric archaeology was bound up with the research and organisational activity of Józef Żurowski (leader of academic prehistoric archaeology from 1933 to 1936), Tadeusz Sulimirski (from 1936, in fact till 1936, nominally till 1950), and the creator of the JU Institute of Archaeology, Rudolf Jamka (1950–1971).

Nauczanie archeologii prehistorycznej na ziemiach polskich zostało zapoczątkowane w Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim, w roku akademickim 1863/1864 za sprawą Józefa Łepkowskiego, który w 1863 roku habilitował się w zakresie archeologii i sztuki średniowiecznej, uzyskał tytuł docenta i prawo wykładania. W swoich pierwszych wykładach z cyklu „Archeologia sztuki średniowiecznej”, mówił m.in.: „O zabytkach słowiańskich i polskich, przedchrześcijańskich”, wprowadzając do nurtu kształcenia uniwersyteckiego tematykę najdawniejszych dziejów, wyprzedzających czasy historyczne. Informacji w tym zakresie dostarczały gromadzone wówczas przez różnych „miłośników starożytności”, zbiory znalezisk archeologicznych i podejmowane coraz częściej – dla ich pozyskania – prace wykopaliskowe. Ta swoista „moda” na gromadzenie materialnych pamiątek i źródeł wiedzy o najdawniejszej przeszłości była popularna zwłaszcza wśród inteligencji oraz wykształconego i patriotycznie nastawionego ziemiaństwa. Łepkowski, aktywny również w tym zakresie, już w 1867 roku zorganizował tzw. „Gabinet Archeologiczny UJ”, z bogatymi zbiorami znalezisk archeologicznych ze wszystkich ziem polskich a także zabytkami z dziedziny sztuki, stanowiący zaplecze dydaktyczne dla prowadzonych wykładów. W Gabinecie, który w 1871 roku został ulokowany w Collegium Maius UJ, tj. ówczesnym Kolegium Jagiellońskim przy ul. św. Anny, powstała również specjalistyczna biblioteka. Po uzyskaniu w 1866 roku stanowiska profesora nadzwyczajnego, w 1867 roku Józef Łepkowski obejmuje też utworzoną dla niego Katedrę Archeologii UJ; początkowo tymczasową, a w roku 1874 przemianowaną na stałą. Józef Łepkowski, świetny organizator (w 1886 roku rektor UJ), działacz społeczny, konserwator zabytków Krakowa, a przede wszystkim znakomity uczony cieszący się uznaniem wśród archeologów krajowych i europejskich, nie wykształcił jednak podobnego sobie następcy. Stąd też po jego śmierci w 1894 roku, wykłady z archeologii prehistorycznej podjął dopiero po 10-letniej przerwie (i po habilitowaniu się w 1905 roku), jeden z słuchaczy wykładów Łepkowskiego, a z wykształcenia prawnik – Włodzimierz Demetrykiewicz. Jego wykłady, ujęte w cykle trzyletnie, uporządkowane były chronologicznie, z zastosowaniem najnowszych wówczas koncepcji w zakresie periodyzacji pradziejów. To właśnie działalność Demetrykiewicza spina klamrą archeologię prehistoryczną w Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim z czasów przed i po I wojnie światowej. Starania Włodzimierza Demetrykiewicza o odrębność kształcenia w zakresie archeologii prehistorycznej, zaowocowały uchwaleniem w 1925 roku przez Wydział Filozoficzny UJ, projektu odrębnych, 4-letnich studiów zakończonych magisterium z prehistorii. Projekt ten został zaaprobowany przez Ministerstwo Wyznań Religijnych i Oświecenia Publicznego i wprowadzony do oferty kształcenia uniwersyteckiego. Program studiów z prehistorii zaproponowany przez Demetrykiewicza, przewidywał wykłady kursowe obejmujące całokształt prehistorii, z trzema egzaminami cząstkowymi (epoka kamienia, epoki metali przed narodzeniem Chrystusa i epoki metali po narodzeniu Chrystusa), ćwiczenia oraz seminarium, na którym słuchacz miał przygotować pracę pisemną. Dochodziły do tego przedmioty uzupełniające z dziedziny nauk przyrodniczych i humanistycznych. Demetrykiewicz wielką wagę przykładał też do naukowej aktywizacji studentów. To z jego inicjatywy w 1929 roku zorganizowane zostało Koło Naukowe Słuchaczy Prehistorii Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, którego spadkobiercą jest dzisiejsze Koło Naukowe Studentów Archeologii UJ. W niepodległej Polsce Włodzimierz Demetrykiewicz – podobnie jak Józef Żurowski, jego uczeń i (od 1933 roku) następca na stanowisku kierownika Katedry Archeologii Przedhistorycznej UJ – włączył się aktywnie w organizację służby ochrony zabytków, wchodząc w skład utworzonego w 1920 roku (według wzorców galicyjskiego Grona Konserwatorów), Państwowego Grona Konserwatorów Zabytków Przedhistorycznych. Józef Żurowski (doktorat w 1922, habilitacja w 1928 roku), prehistoryk, muzealnik i aktywny badacz terenowy, z racji własnych doświadczeń i kompetencji badawczych, w szerokim zakresie wprowadził do programu kształcenia uniwersyteckiego zagadnienia metodyki badań wykopaliskowych, wspierając ten nurt obowiązkowym udziałem studentów w praktykach terenowych. Istotne znaczenie w kształtowaniu warsztatu naukowego prehistoryków krakowskich w tym czasie miała też współpraca z Muzeum Archeologicznym PAU, kierowanym od 1937 roku przez historyka z wykształcenia ale też archeologa i wybitnego muzealnika – Tadeusza Reymana. To z tego pokolenia uczniów Demetrykiewicza i młodych współpracowników Żurowskiego, rekrutowało się grono znakomitych prehistoryków i praktyków w zakresie konserwatorstwa, muzealnictwa i metodyki badań terenowych w osobach m.in.: Gabriela Leńczyka (doktorat u Demetrykiewicza w 1929 roku), Rudolfa Jamki (mgr w 1930, dr w 1932), Kazimierza Salewicza (mgr w 1932), zamordowanego później w Katyniu Jana Fitzke (mgr 1932) i Józefa Marciniaka (mgr w 1933). W 1934 roku, już u Józefa Żurowskiego uzyskali też m.in. magisteria: Jan Bartys – również zamordowany w Katyniu i Stefan Nosek. To na barkach tego pokolenia archeologów spoczęły w dużej mierze losy krakowskiej archeologii w trudnych czasach końca lat 30-tych, wojny i okupacji niemieckiej oraz wczesnych lat powojennych. Po nagłej śmierci Żurowskiego w 1936 roku, Katedrę Prehistorii na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim obejmuje jednak wychowanek szkoły lwowskiej, uczeń m.in. Leona Kozłowskiego – Tadeusz Sulimirski, który rok później uzyskuje też stanowisko profesora nadzwyczajnego UJ. Sulimirski, po uzyskaniu habilitacji z prehistorii na Uniwersytecie Jana Kazimierza, w 1931 roku (w zastępstwie profesora Leona Kozłowskiego pełniącego w tym czasie funkcje rządowe), obejmuje Katedrę Prehistorii na macierzystej uczelni. Po powrocie Kozłowskiego przenosi się do Krakowa, z ugruntowaną pozycją badacza o wielkiej aktywności pisarskiej i terenowej (do września 1939 roku Sulimirski podejmował badania wykopaliskowe w 35 miejscowościach). Rozszerza też wówczas swoją działalność badawczą na zachodnią Małopolskę i pełni różne funkcje, m.in. w Polskiej Akademii Umiejętności, w tym funkcję sekretarza Komisji Prehistorycznej. To postać Tadeusza Sulimirskiego symbolizuje w pewnym sensie dramatyczne losy archeologii prehistorycznej na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim w tych czasach. Sulimirski, mający piękną, patriotyczną kartę udziału w walkach o niepodległość z lat 1918–1920, po klęsce wrześniowej jako kapitan wojsk pancernych przedostaje się przez Rumunię do Francji, a następnie do Wielkiej Brytanii i – w okresie organizacji Polskich Sił Zbrojnych na zachodzie – kontynuuje służbę wojskową na różnych stanowiskach. Później urlopowany z armii w 1941 roku, zostaje mianowany na stanowisko Sekretarza Generalnego w Ministerstwie Oświaty polskiego rządu emigracyjnego w Londynie. Sławę i uznanie zyskuje jednak jako wybitny, europejskiej rangi archeolog, przede wszystkim znawca prehistorii Europy Wschodniej i wczesnohistorycznych ludów koczowniczych; Kimmerów, Scytów i Sarmatów – niestrudzony społecznik i organizator aktywności naukowej polskiej emigracji, wieloletni rektor Polskiego Uniwersytetu na Obczyźnie. W Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim, w latach okupacji, odpowiedzialność za losy archeologii prehistorycznej spadła na barki młodszego pokolenia uczniów i współpracowników Włodzimierza Demetrykiewicza i Józefa Żurowskiego. Należał do nich przede wszystkim Rudolf Jamka, który już w 1941 roku wraz z Albinem Jurą podjął tajne nauczanie w zakresie prahistorii, zorganizowane następnie (za zgodą rektora Władysława Szafera), w ramach Tajnego Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, bazując na własnym księgozbiorze oraz bibliotece i zbiorach Muzeum Archeologicznego PAU. Lokal, biblioteka i zbiory Zakładu Archeologii Przedhistorycznej UJ, zostały bowiem zarekwirowane przez okupantów. To właśnie słuchacze tych zajęć, m.in. Maria Trzepacz-Cabalska i Stanisław Buratyński, tworzyli wraz z Rudolfem Jamką, zręby uniwersyteckiej archeologii prahistorycznej po zakończeniu okupacji. Istotną rolę odegrał tu też (po powrocie z Oflagu), Tadeusz Reyman, dyrektor Muzeum Archeologicznego PAU, prowadzący zajęcia z muzealnictwa, a przez jakiś czas również Stefan Krukowski. Rudolf Jamka położył też ogromne zasługi w budowie polskiej archeologii na Śląsku po zakończeniu II wojny światowej. W bardzo trudnych warunkach, borykając się z chorobą płuc, której nabawił się w latach okupacji, Jamka zorganizował Muzeum Prehistoryczne we Wrocławiu, którego został dyrektorem i już w czerwcu 1946 r. otworzył pierwszą na terenie polskiego Wrocławia wystawę poświęconą pradziejom Śląska. Równolegle z organizacją Muzeum Prehistorycznego przystąpił do tworzenia Zakładu Prehistorii na Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim, gdzie zajęcia dydaktyczne z tego przedmiotu rozpoczęto w początkach grudnia 1945 roku. Kiedy w 1950 roku Tadeusz Sulimirski z powodów politycznych zdecydował się ostatecznie na pozostanie w Anglii, to właśnie Rudolf Jamka obejmuje kierownictwo Katedry Archeologii Przedhistorycznej UJ, przemianowanej następnie na Katedrę Archeologii Polski. W kierowanej przez niego placówce, wypracowane zostały wówczas zasady kształcenia i strategii prowadzenia badań, które w pewnej mierze kontynuowane są po dziś dzień przez pokolenia jego starszych i młodszych uczniów. W 1971 roku profesor Rudolf Jamka, przy wsparciu swoich uczniów, profesorów Marka Gedla, Kazimierza Godłowskiego i Janusza Krzysztofa Kozłowskiego, doprowadza do powstania – w efekcie połączenia uniwersyteckich Katedr; Archeologii Polski i Archeologii Śródziemnomorskiej – dzisiejszego Instytutu Archeologii UJ. Profesor Rudolf Jamka został też mianowany pierwszym dyrektorem nowo powstałego Instytutu, ulokowanego już w samodzielnej siedzibie, uniwersyteckim budynku Collegium Minus (przy ul. Gołębiej 11). Zapoczątkowało to proces konsolidacji dwóch głównych specjalności archeologii w polskich uniwersytetach.

In 2013 in the Chairs of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University concerned with legal and constitutional history, several research and editorial projects which were launched in the past few years were being continued, some of them having come to the point of the publication of final or partial results. Also one international event – a conference on the editing of legal-historical sources in June 2013 – was organized jointly by several units of the Faculty.

This paper summaries the results of research work conducted at Collegium Maius and Block 27. Owing to research the evolution in the spatial layout and architecture of the entire construction block (No. 27) where these buildings are located was identified. The area was ultimately formed in the year 1300, which was connected with the construction of city walls and final delineation of city borders. From 1400 until around the mid-16th century, Collegium Maius was built in the north-eastern part of the block, while in the second half of the 15th century the brick Collegium Minus was built in the south-western part of the block; next to it a wooden German Dormitory was constructed. Until 1469 the entire western area of the block or at least the larger part thereof was owned by the Jewish Community, including the property at today’s 10 Św. Anny Street, probably along with some houses in Gołębia Street at that time. There were two synagogues – the Old and the New – in the area in that period. After a fire in 1462, in 1469 Jan Długosz purchased the properties and transferred them to the Cracow Academy. For a long time the area was occupied by private houses, as the Academy leased or sold these properties. In 1643 in the north-western part of the block building of the Academy high school – New Classes (12 Św. Anny Street) were constructed. The south-western part of the block was finally taken over by the Academy in the second half of the 17th century; deteriorated houses were demolished and the property incorporated into the Academy garden. Around the mid-19th century, the western wing was added to the building complex of the Classes, overlooking the Planty Park; in 1911 the Witkowski College was built in the south-western part of the block.

The paper presents a synthesis of the history and achievements of Polish linguistics cultivated at the Jagiellonian University since the second half of the 19th century till this day. The beginnings are the first lectures which discussed the Polish language, followed by the creation of chairs, then the institute, and finally a separate Faculty of Polish Studies. The author interweaves the institutional and personal threads, and indicates the most important figures of old professors whose works were central to the development of Polish linguistics and its various fields.

The Sodality movement has been initiated in the 16th c. and it was around then that the first sodality organizations were created in Poland. The Sodality of Our Lady for Women Students and Female Participants of Higher Courses in Krakow was founded in 1906; it co-created the Krakow sodality movement in the interwar period together with the Sodality Movement of the Academicians at the Jagiellonian University, the Sodality Movement of the Academicians of the Academy of Mining and the Sodality Movement of the Students of the Higher Commercial College in Krakow. In 1925 the Sodality of Our Lady for Women Students and Female Participants of Higher Courses in Krakow became transformed into the Sodality of Our Lady for Women Academicians and when the ruling concerning academic associations was introduced in 1933, the organization had changed its name into: Sodality of Our Lady for Women Students of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. The latter organization had laid special emphasis on religious instruction and spiritual formation of its female members, which is a characteristic feature of all sodality movements. But apart from the activity which was focused on the spiritual sphere, the Sodality movement also provided assistance in the strictly material sphere both to sodality members and persons from outside the organization – among others, to children, those in need of material aid or the sick who were undergoing treatment in St. Lazarus or St. Ludwig Hospitals in Kraków

Edward Bekier was born on October 9 1883 in Sierpc. He finished secondary school in Warsaw in 1904, then began philosophical studies at the Jagiellonian University and earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1911. He continued his studies at the laboratory of physical chemistry, the University of Goettingen (1912) and later at the Polytechnic School in Charlottenburg (1913). from 1914 he worked at the Chemical Department of the Warsaw University of Technology, where in 1918 he gained a reader degree. in 1920 he received a professorial appointment at the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. The University’s activity was interrupted by the war of 1920 and Edward Bekier served voluntarily as cannoneer in the 1st Anti-aircraft Regiment of the Polish Army. After the war in 1921 he received a nomination for a professorship at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and in 1922 a nomination for a professorship of Physical Chemistry at the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. He organized its Physical Chemistry Unit and directed it until the end of 1939, when the University was closed down. During his work at the university, he six times held the position of dean or deputy dean of the Mathematical-Natural Department. His scientific achievements cover 29 titles published in national and foreign literature. Those were the works in electrochemistry and radioactivity, as well as propertiesof metals and their alloys. Bekier conducted his scientific studies mainly in the field of chemical kinetics in homogenous and heterogeneous systems. During German occupation, Bekier lectured on physical chemistry, involved in the activities of the underground Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. He died suddenly on February 10 1945.

Tadeusz Bilikiewicz (1901-1980) was one of the outstanding Polish psychiatrists. He specialized in the treatment of psychosis and psychoneurosis, as well as in the search for natural and philosophical foundations of higher nervous activity. He became closely interested in philosophy during his studies. Interest in philosophy ignited his research on the history of culture and, dear to him as a doctor, reflections on the subject of the history of medicine. He was privileged to work with Heinrich (Henry) Sigeristem (1891-1957) and Osweim Temkin (1902-2002) one of the greatest scholars studying the past of medicine of those days. For several years, he also worked as an assistant of Władysław Szumowski (1875-1954), a professor of history and philosophy of medicine at the Jagiellonian University. After World War II, he bound his fate with the Medical University of Gdansk, where he was appointed a professor degree. This article is an attempt to analyze the changes taking place in the views of Tadeusz Bilikiewicz as to the substance of the subject of history of medicine and its actual research and cognitive abilities. Initially, in accordance with the principles proclaimed by the so-called Leipzig school and by the majority of Polish historians of medicine, including Władysław Szumowski, he believed that the medical history may be philosophically encompassed by an effective tool of critical attention and may fulfil an important role in university didactics. He was of the opinion of philosophical approach to historical problems and close contact of medical history with contemporary theoretical problems of medicine and with medical practice. Over time, delving into certain epistemological problems, Bilikiewicz began to question the above way of understanding and of practicing the history of medicine. This was due to his own reflections supported by reading works of Karl Joël (1864-1934) and Heinrich Wölfflin (1864-1945), and above all, the works of Ludwig Fleck (1896-1961), with whom Bilikiewicz entered into polemics. Bilikiewicz, by stressing the fragmentation of our knowledge and the imperfections inherent in the nature of the knowing mind, he introduced the concept of the cognitive orientation. We gain it through the transformation of reality made by our mind, which looks for repeatable phenomena and multiple elements of a given structure, trying to present them in the form of hypotheses, theorems and definitions. The cognitive orientation, however, is doomed to imperfect and often deceptive methods of analogy and intuition. As a result, we may only dispose of certain perspective that allows us to merely understand the main features of the studied reality, resulting in gaining of certain general knowledge, but invariably incomplete one. This situation Bilikiewicz describes as perspectivism of researc , which is similar to the theory propounded by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) and José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955). Thus, the history of medicine, although it searches for knowing the truth, which Bilikiewicz recognized as objectively existing, will not be able to perceive it, and may only come close to it. It is impossible, therefore, in absolute and constant terms, to talk about the history of medicine as a field of science. Only the analysis of the sources and the facts bear, according to Bilikiewicz, hallmarks of scientific inquiry. When we begin to hypothesise or proceed with research reconstruction, the scientific designation will be difficult to maintain. Epistemological scepticism of Bilikiewicz clearly stood out from among contemporary historians of medicine, among who, the views professed by him were neither understood nor met in a broader debate.

In 1397 Pope Boniface IX, at the request of King Władysław Jagiełło and his wife Saint Jadwiga (Hedvig), Queen of Poland, called into being a Faculty of Theology in Studium Generale in Kraków. Scientific talents and hard work together with universal support of the state and Church authorities set the young faculty on its feet immediately. The period of the first hundred years was a golden age in the development of the Faculty. It rapidly won fame not only in Poland but also in all Europe, mainly because of the speeches of its theologians at the Councils of Constance and Basle. The fame of Kraków theologians spread throughout Europe during the period of the Council of Basle. During the period of the Reformation, professors of the university, then called the Kraków Academy, were involved in defence of the Catholic Church. During the Council of Trent (1545–1563) in the university circles there appeared splendid works impugning the Protestant and neo-Arian views. The codification of dogmas at the Council of Trent facilitated the teaching methods and acceptance of Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas as the best interpretation of the Christian outlook.In 1795, Poland was completely erased from the map of Europe, torn and divided between Prussia, Russia and Austria. Kraków came under the sway of the Austrians, beginning a difficult period for the Faculty of Theology and the whole University. The Austrian system concerning politics and the Church, called Josephinism, was damaging to the theological studies there. The re-organisation of the Faculty in 1880 was very crucial. It restored full academic rights, and the increasing number of chairs initiated a period of intense re-building of the University’s role in Polish culture, which it had enjoyed in the 15th–16th centuries. In 1880–1939, the Faculty experienced something similar to a second spring, comparable with its golden 15th century. The successful development of the Faculty was dramatically interrupted by the outbreak of World War II in September 1939 and the following gehenna of the Nazi occupation.After the war, the struggle with the Church, atheistic policy and laicisation planned by the communist government prevented a normal development of the Faculty outright. The faculty’s existence was in jeopardy. The threat of liquidation appeared unavoidable and then it became fact. The Council of Ministers of the Polish People’s Republic by its unilateral decision of 1954, without any agreement with the Church, connected the Faculty of Theology of the Jagiellonian University to the Faculty of Catholic Theology of Warsaw University to form the Academy of Catholic Theology in Warsaw, which had just been created by the government. The Faculty of Theology in Kraków survived as an independent faculty due to the uncompromising attitude of the Apostolic See and the Kraków bishops. In 1974 the Faculty, functioning within the Metropolitan Seminary, was bestowed the title ‘pontifical.’ A turning point in the history of the Faculty was its re-structuring as an academy with three faculties. In 1981, Pope John Paul II established the Pontifical Academy of Theology. In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI elevated it to the John Paul II Pontifical University.

Akademickie Koło Kresowe existed for 17 years (1922-1939) as an organization for students coming from Kresy (Eastern Borderlands of Poland), studying at Krakow’s universities (in the years 1922-1923 and 1933-1939 Association functioned as an institution gathering only the academic community of the Jagiellonian University, and in the years 1923-1933 and 1939 as an intercollegiate organization). The organization had more than 750 students for the period of its existence. They found here a help (accommodation, meals, grants and loans), a forum for exchanging ideas (mainly in the context of the situation of Kresy in a past and currently), a place of entertainment social (balls, fun, holidays, mountain tours), and even a substitute for the family (long friendships, marriages). Among the famous members of the Association should be mentioned such a person as: father Władysław Bukowiński, prof. Karol Górski, journalist Ksawery Pruszyński, painter Józef Czapski and many others. This article tries on the basis of Jagiellonian University Archive’s records to reconstruct the history of the organization, its ideological assumptions, structure, financial situation and fields of activity. In the end, it tries to answer the question of what importance were Kresy in later life of members of the Association and how they perceive Kresy.

An effective planning of postgraduate studies requires not only defining the program content, but also the manners of its delivery. The present paper presents the solutions for this issue applied at postgraduate studies concerning managing a revitalization processes. The author elaborates on the need of education in the field of the revitalization, which has led to establishing by the Warsaw School of Economics and the Jagiellonian University in Krakow the postgraduate studies “The Revitalization of Cities – the organization and financing”.

A renowned Galician memoirist and official, having graduated from the faculty of Law at the Jagiellonian University, Kazimierz Chłędowski attempted to start a career of a scholar. The atmosphere seemed to be favourable due to the increasing Polonization of the University, the introduction of the system of habilitation, and the need for new staff members. What also influenced Chłędowski’s decision was the scholarly work of Julian Dunajewski, whose lectures he attended. Inspired by Dunajewski’s personality and his views on economy, Chłędowski wrote his works, which became the basis of his habilitation procedure. At the same time he published a lot of essays on economy and history as well as on general subjects. He was critical towards the economic situation in Galicia, suggesting concrete solutions: development of local governments and national institutions, decentralization of trade, reducing interest rates on loans. Eventually he gave up the scholarly career, however, and devoted himself to literature and work for the Galician authorities.

Stanisław Płaza (1927–2006) is a leading figure among scholars writing about local noble parliamentary assemblies. Stanisław Płaza created a synthesis of our knowledge about Crown local noble parliamentary assemblies. The author introduces the reader to the figure of the scholar, his life. Before Płaza finished school he found himself (in 1940) with his whole family in a Soviet Gulag, like many Poles, as a result of the Soviet occupation of over half of Poland after the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939. After the war he returned to Poland, completed his studies and became a researcher at the Jagiellonian University. He obtained the title of professor. Stanisław Płaza placed the local noble parliamentary assembly in an original way in the whole complicated system of state and self-government bodies. Stanisław Płaza put in order our ideas and our knowledge about the system of the former Republic of Poland, and especially about the parliamentary system, fundamental in the system of noble democracy. The author himself wrote a lot about the local noble parliamentary assemblies of the former Republic of Poland, and was a friend and collaborator of Professor Stanisław Płaza. In spite of the high recognition of Professor Stanisław Płaza’s mastery, the author often argued with him academically. Currently, the author recalls the scientific achievements of Professor Stanisław Płaza and old polemics, which were closely observed in scholarly circles.

Stanisław Płaza (1927–2006) to postać pierwszoplanowa wśród uczonych piszących o sejmikach. już pierwsza książka zaskakiwała samą konstrukcją. Stanisław Płaza stworzył syntezę naszej wiedzy o sejmikach koronnych. Autor przybliża czytelnikowi postać Uczonego, jego życie. Zanim ukończył szkoły znalazł się (w 1940 r.) z całą rodziną w sowieckim łagrze, jak wielu Polaków w wyniku sowieckiej okupacji ponad połowy Polski po pakcie Hitler-Stalin (z 1939 r.). Po wojnie powrócił do Polski, ukończył studia i został pracownikiem naukowym Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. Uzyskał tytuł profesora. Sejmik został przez Stanisława Płazę oryginalnie umieszczony w całym skomplikowanym systemie organów państwowych oraz samorządowych. Stanisław Płaza uporządkował nasze wyobrażenia i naszą wiedzę o ustroju dawnej Rzeczypospolitej, a zwłaszcza o systemie parlamentarnym, fundamentalnym w ustroju demokracji szlacheckiej. Autor też dużo pisywał o sejmikach dawnej Rzeczypospolitej, przyjaźnił się i współpracował z Profesorem Stanisławem Płazą. Mimo wysokiego uznania mistrzostwa Profesora Stanisława Płazy, piszący te słowa nieraz z Nim polemizował naukowo. Obecnie autor przypomina naukowe osiągnięcia Profesora Stanisława Płazy i dawne polemiki, które były z uwagą obserwowane w środowisku.

Stanisław Czarniecki was connected with book and publishing cooperative movement from his youth. During that time he gained the knowledge of old scientific books and acquired habits of voluntary worker. He studied geology at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (1950-1955) and already then became professionally attached to the Geological-Stratigraphic laboratory of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków. He specialized in research in deposits of early paleozoic. In 1964 at the Jagiellonian University, under the supervision of Prof. Marian Książkiewicz, Stanisław Czarniecki completed his doctoral thesis on this subject, presenting the dissertation entitled: Sedimentary envionment and stratigrafical position of the treskeloden beds (Vestspitsbergen) (printed in 1969). Already during his studies he began advanced research in the history of geology, mainly of the Kraków centre. His research concerned Ludwik Zajszneg (1805-1971), a well-known researcher of Carpathian mountains and Polish highland, as well as Stanisław Staszic (1755-1871). To the latter he devoted his first publication concerning vocabulary in his book of 1815: O ziemiorodztwie Karpatów i innych gór i równin Polski. One of his last books is Pokłosie staszicowskie of 2009. Stanisław Czarniecki conducted parallel geological field works and historical studies. as a historian, he mainly dealt with biographical writings and published his articles, i.a. in Polski Słownik Biograficzny and Dictionary of scientific biography. He published a lot also in national and foreign press, including materials for the International Congress of the History of Science. at the first Congress with his participation in 1965 in Warsaw, held in the museum of the earth of the Polish Academy of Sciences (where meetings of its geological section were taking place), he put on an exhibition Polska kartografia geologiczna przed 1919 r. [Polish geological cartography], which became the first synthesis of the issue. As a voluntary social worker, he devoted his work to saving cultural heritage, especially old books. The recovered volumes were usually handed over to museums and scientific libraries. He conducted a wide-scale campaign providing polish schools and even prisons with books. his knowledge about old prints was disseminated through exhibitions, especially in schools, libraries, museums and community centres. To make the exhibitions more varied, he added works of art with the support of an artist, Zbylut Grzywacz. In Kraków he founded a private laboratory of the History of Polish Geology and opened it to those interested. He was one of the most active participants of the Staszic meetings in Piła, the place of Staszic’s birth, where he sought to maintain his name as „father of polish geology”. He was of the opinion that Staszic’s conduct ancillary to his country through organic work was an optimal life pattern for generations of Poles, not only in politically difficult times. Stanisław Czarniecki was a member of the international Committee of the History of Geological Sciences (INHIGEO) from its creation in Yerevan in 1967.
