In its beginning in 1915 r. the University of Warsaw did not inherit neither the insignia nor ceremonial after its predecessors. Nevertheless the academicians of Warsaw were able to make the virtue of humbleness out of this deficiency and gave up external decorum for hard work at the roots of future polish science. In the year 1921 university was finally granted with the insignia, and the ceremony of transferring them by the Commander of State (Naczelnik Państwa), which was joined with the ceremony of granting to Pilsudski MD honoris causa of the University of Warsaw, became an opportunity to stress the connection between the university and the state seen as the highest form of existing of the nation. Up from that moment, speeches taken by rectors at the inaugurations of every academic year were taken as opportunity to comment on the situation of current relations between the Respublica academica and the state. Depending on the situation, stress was put on the tradition of academic autonomy or the patriotism the people of the academy was shown. In the late years of the II RP the last point of view was so strong that the ceremony almost turned into the military dispatch.
