The system of employing teachers of state schools of higher learning in the Second Republic was based on a limited number of professorial chairs and permanent positions for the auxiliary staff. Throughout almost the entire interwar period professors received rather high wages, at least from the viewpoint of Polish conditions: in the 1930s their basic wages reached up to 1000 zlotys. They also enjoyed considerable freedom of scientific world and opportunities of earning additional wages. An overwhelming majority of academic courses was, however, conducted by members of the auxiliary staff or contracted dozents, whose income was two or three times lower than that of the professors, and chances for a meaningful promotion – slight. Even world-renowned accomplishments did not provide such guarantees. By way of example, the Warsaw and Lwow school of mathematics gained international acclaim, but only five out of a total of more than ten of its most talented representatives received professorial posts.

The aim of the following article is to present the idea of academic teacher during the period of Second Polish Republic and its consequences for the historical research. Significant differences in understanding the definition of academic teacher during interwar period (1918-1939) and modern times have been pointed out. The paper relies mostly on analysis of national law acts. It has been divided into five chapters. In the beginning it presents the modern definition of academic teacher according to contemporary law. Next point discussed, is the law during Second Polish Republic, which constituted activities of universities, and general system of academic studies at that time. The relevant definitions have been precised - those referring to scholars, and those referring to scientific powers (both rudimentary and auxiliary). By definition, the academic teacher during interwar period included only those holding the function of professor (ordinary, extraordinary and honored) or postdoctoral lecturing qualification, and it excluded both attendants and assistants. Also, the paper focuses on the changes that took place between 1920-1939, especially regarding the professors by academic title, contracted and vice professors. Different understandings of the role of academic teacher during Second Polish Republic and Third Polish Republic (current status) lead to conclusions, which have been gathered in the last part. Those should be helpful to historians researching the polish education on the academic level.
