After the fall of the November Uprising, the Russian authorities liquidated the University of Warsaw. As a result, the University employees were forced to take up other occupations. Some of them went to male government secondary schools as pedagogical supervisors (principals and inspectors), or teachers. This group numbered 18 people. The functions of principals were performed by two people, the functions of inspectors – by six, the remaining ten found employment as teachers. The period of their employment in secondary education varied widely: from 1 year to over 25 years. On average it was just over nine years. Among the teachers, four taught the humanities, the others taught mathematical and natural sciences. Many members of the described community decided to continue their scientific work. Particular achievements in mathematics were held by A. Frączkiewicz, and I in the field of physics and chemistry – by J. Bełza, A. Radwański, T. Rybicki and S. Zdzitowiecki. Achievements in biological research were noted by W. B. Jastrzębowski, Sz. Pisulewski and A. Waga (interestingly, he taught Polish language and literature in secondary school). Some achievements in the field of the humanities were held by A. Kucharski and F. Kozłowski. The above-mentioned employees of the University of Warsaw significantly strengthened the teaching staff of male government secondary schools in the Kingdom of Poland between 1833 and 1862.

In this paper we deal with the idea of an entrepreneurial university in Polish conditions with a special reference to the University of Warsaw, the biggest university in Poland. We try to prove that the signpost on the road towards such model of a university is a proper strategy of research cooperation between the University and the economic environment, especially with the business sector. We argue that the strategy should be based on a marketing approach. However, there is still a long road ahead of the University of Warsaw towards the model of entrepreneurial university.

The Volhynian Gymnasium (and since 1818 Lyceum) in Kremenets was one of the most important Polish schools of the first half of the 19th century. Raising it to the rank of a lyceum coincided with the creation of the University of Warsaw. The new school on academic level operating in the city of the Society of Friends of Science (Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Nauk) aroused interest among students in Kremenets. More than a dozen of them entered the University. Moreover, teachers of the school were invited to collaborate with the University of Warsaw. In 1830 a doctor from Kremenets, Karol Kaczkowski, became university professor and head of the clinic of internal medicine. He left memoirs in which he colourfully described professors of the medical faculty. On the other hand, Alojzy Feliński, who was offered professorship at the University of Warsaw, preferred a job in Kremenets. Besides scientific contacts there were also social relationships and family ties. Alojzy Osiński, brother of a University of Warsaw professor, Ludwik Osiński, taught Polish and Latin literature in Kremenets.

The article presents an outline of the history of institution called University Public Lectures, which functioned at the University of Warsaw during the interwar period, starting from the year 1922. The task of the institution was to organise, on a regular basis, open lectures in order to reach a wide audience from outside the academic community. The large number of lecturers recruited from among the most eminent professors of the University of Warsaw, specialising in various fields of academic research, ensured the high substantive level of the organised lectures. The organisation of the lectures constituted one of the ways in which the University of Warsaw was carrying out its task of promoting scientific knowledge and presenting the results of the most recent scientific research to the general public. Due to the aim of the lectures, their subject matter was quite diverse and often centered around the recent problems of the Polish community and state. Although the idea of open lectures was not novel at the time, University Public Lectures contributed to the adult education provided by the University of Warsaw.

The article presents graduates of the Royal University of Warsaw, which existed between 1816 and 1831, (closed as a result of the November Uprising downfall) and alumni of the Main School in Warsaw, functioning in 1862–1869, that is till the failed January Uprising, after which the school was transformed into the Russian Imperial University of Warsaw. The total number of graduates of the above-mentioned schools amounted to 57. What is more, there were 29 graduates of the Royal University of Warsaw and they began to work in schools in the period between the uprisings, whereas 27 graduates of the Main School in Warsaw only took jobs in teaching in secondary schools in the Kingdom of Poland after the education system reform of Aleksander Wielopolski. The article presents fields of studies of those teachers, their religious beliefs and social background, work experience as well as examples of their active involvement in social, political and cultural life of the Kingdom of Poland.

The preparation for a study of the characteristics of students undertaking studies, including their motivation for choosing a particular field of study and their expectations after graduation began in 1990. The German group conducted a survey among the students of the universities of Jena, Potsdam, Berlin (HUB) and technical universities of Jena, Weimar and Zittau. A total of 1207 students were questioned. The Polish group consisted of 1649 people from 19 majors in the University of Warsaw and 10 in the Nicolaus Copernicus University of Toruń. They were surveyed, among others, on their willingness to cooperate with the local government, the assessment of tasks and values of the universities, their expectations regarding future employment and the confidence about their own development. The cooperation between the two institutions continued and the research was extended by new research topics, such as the culture of studying in the transition period and adult cultural education.

Despite its short history, the royal-university collection grew significantly: from 542 casts purchased by Stanislaus Augustus to over 750 sculptures finally gathered at the University. For years, agents purchasing artwork for Stanislaus Augustus, university professors and museum directors tried to cooperate with numerous casting workshops throughout Europe which produced copies of prominent ancient works of art. Plaster casts were especially important to the University of Warsaw. For a long time, they functioned as ars, a priceless collection presented to the wider public at the Column Hall, as well as educatio when they were utilized as a basic educational tool for students of painting, sculpture or architecture. This paper is devoted to the markings used by casting workshops that manufactured some of the surviving casts. Such designations allow not only to track contacts with European workshops but also to determine the origins of particular works and the exact time of their creation or the name of the caster.

Editor in Chief of “The Pedagogical Quarterly” discourses with Irena Wojnar, employed at the University of Warsaw since early post-war time. Her intellectual evolution (l’âge où l’on grandit) occurs in changing dramatic periods of our history, optimism of elementary school before the World War II, painful time of clandestine education during the Nazi occupation in Warsaw, hopes and illusions of the post-war epoch. In these periods, the essential inspirations for Irena Wojnar were successive books of Bogdan Suchodolski, with symbolic titles: Love life – be valiant (2nd ed. 1930), Whence and where are we going to? (1943) and Education for the future (1947). In the Polish school before the WWII, pupils were educated in the spirit of patriotism and civic duties, sensibility to the surrounding world and the service of humans. Tragic heroism of the WWII became the proof of those values. In the conditions of constant aggressive and permanent threat, quasi “against the night”, the fight with the occupant becomes the essential moral duty. For young people, pupils and students, when secondary and tertiary schools were closed by the Nazis, this duty signified participation in clandestine education supporting hope to preserve future order in the world and preparation of the future activity in the free Poland after the WWII. The end of the WWII created a chance for the future shape of the world in line with our humanistic values. It was the period of the reconstruction of Warsaw, destroyed during the WWII, becoming a city of “sorrow and dreams”. In the final part of the conversation there appears the general opinion that every individual life–story, beyond its individual aspects, reveals a more general educational idea. Human life runs across destiny and personal consciousness. Independently of our destiny, we have a chance to choose values important for us, to realise the “poetics of the self” (poétique du soi) based on our capacity to overcome own limitations and to increase goodness in the world.

The University of Warsaw has a collection of ancient Egyptian objects, including four human mummies (200334 MNW, 236805/3 MNW, 236806 MNW, along with the mummy remains under two numbers KMS St. 0089 and KMS St. 0096 from the coffin 236804 MNW). They were donated by various persons in the nineteenth century. This paper establishes their dating, history, provenances, and research history in the context of the university’s antiquities collection, interests in ancient Egypt, and the development of Egyptology in Poland, especially in Warsaw. Previous studies on the subject were problematic owing to the limited and dispersed nature of sources and the fact that some of them were ambiguous and sometimes contradictory. Since then, more information has become available, especially computed tomography and X-ray scans of the mummies made by the Warsaw Mummy Project in cooperation with the National Museum in Warsaw. This has allowed further elaboration on the history of the collection and to re-establish identities of some of the deceased.

Artykuł poświęcony jest analizie mowy „O powołaniu i obowiązkach młodzieży akademickiej”, wygłoszonej w 1826 roku przez Kazimierza Brodzińskiego (1791–1835), profesora literatury polskiej na Uniwersytecie Królewsko-Warszawskim. Mowa wyjaśniała młodzieży system studiów na uniwersytecie oraz zawierała rady dotyczące indywidualnej pracy studenta i podporządkowania się przepisom uniwersyteckim. Miała jednak drugą warstwę, nie zauważoną dotychczas przez badaczy – była głosem w sporach o przyszłość uniwersytetu. Wobec planów resortu oświaty związanych z rozbiciem uczelni na specjalistyczne szkoły, z których część miała być ulokowana poza Warszawą, Brodziński kładł nacisk na jedność nauczania na uniwersytecie i znaczenie takich przedmiotów ogólnych jak filozofia czy historia literatury. Wyraźnie też dystansował się od funkcjonującego wówczas systemu nadzorowania młodzieży akademickiej. Poglądy Brodzińskiego na dydaktykę uniwersytecką skonfrontowane zostały z koncepcjami radcy stanu Józefa Kalasantego Szaniawskiego (1764–1843), konserwatywnego polityka, kierującego edukacją w Królestwie Polskim.

The paper is devoted to an analysis of a 1826 speech “O powołaniu i obowiązkach młodzieży akademickiej” (“On Vocation and Duties of University Students”) delivered by Kazimierz Brodziński (1791–1835), Polish literature professor at the Royal University of Warsaw. The speech intended to explain the students the system of studies and contained pieces of advice about the student’s individual work and conformation to the University’s rules and regulations. The paper additionally had another layer, unnoticed by scholars to this date, namely a voice in the dispute about the future of university. Facing the plans of the Department of Education that aimed to split the University into specialist schools, a part of which was to be located outside Warsaw, Brodziński stresses the unity of university teaching and the importance of general subjects as, for example, philosophy or literary history. Brodziński also kept clear distance from the then system of supervising university students. His views on university didactics are confronted with the conceptions of Józef Kasalanty Szaniawski (1764–1843), the State’s Councillor and a conservative politician, who was in charge of education of the Kingdom of Poland.
