The article presents selected aspects of Polish higher education in North America as reported in the columns of the Polish émigré newspapers „Dziennik Polski” („Polish Daily”) and „Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza” („Polish Daily and Soldier’s Daily”), which have been published in the UK since 1941. Among other things, information was published about the preparations for Copernicus Days in the USA. Articles about all phenomena serving the manifestation and propagation of Polish academic (Fundacja Kościuszkowska, Polski Instytut Naukowy w Nowym Jorku, Instytut im. Józefa Piłsudskiego, Instytut Polski w Chicago) and cultural (Polski Instytut Sztuki i Nauki w Nowym Jorku) achievements in the USA were published, as well pieces on actions undertaken to sustain Polish education and keep Polish language in schools and universities. Activities of the Polish Studies Chair at Columbia University in New York were reported on regularly, including a scandal regarding the university accepting a dotation from the communist government in Warsaw, which resulted in the resignation of Arthur Prudden Coleman in protest in 1948.
