Leon Kozłowski (1892-1944), the outstanding prehistorian, soldier, and politician, was connected with Kraków from the beginning of his studies until he obtained his postdoctoral degree. He studied natural sciences and then archaeology at the Jagiellonian University while being also an unofficial assistant at the Archaeological Museum of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Kraków. The Academy appointed him to explore Lusatian cemeteries near Tarnobrzeg, to excavate a Palaeolithic site in Jaksice (former Miechów district), megalithic graves in Kuyavia, and the Mammoth Cave in the Polish Jura. He collected materials for the Academy during a scientific expedition to the Crimea and the Caucasus organized by Robert Rudolf Schmidt (1882-1950) from the University of Tübingen. During the First World War, Kozłowski joined the Polish Legions and was thus involved in the struggle for Polish independence. He moved to Warsaw to write his doctoral thesis based on the collection of the Erazm Majewski Museum and then defended it in Tübingen. After he gained his postdoctoral degree in Kraków, he took the chair of prehistory in Lwów/Lviv and his contacts with the Jagiellonian University and the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Kraków came to a close. It was only in 1935 that he was elected a corresponding member of the Academy.

University studies, conducted in accordance with the family tradition at the Jagiel-lonian University, in the years 1917/18-1921/22, were an important stage in the intel-lectual development of Zofia Izabella Łuszczkiewicz. In this period, the position of women at the University was quite well-established, although their rights were not yet equal to those of men. The first three female students appeared in Cracow in 1894, they were formally accepted by the Faculty of Philosophy in 1897, by the Faculty of Medicine in 1900, while by the Faculty of Law only in 1900. Zofia Łuszczkiewicz studied chemical sciences at the Faculty of Philosophy. She attended lectures and classes of outstanding scientists such as Karol Dziewoński, professor of organic chemistry, Tadeusz Estreicher, the head of the department of inorganic and analytical chemistry, a distinguished erudite and science populariser and Bohdan Szyszkowski, a specialist in thermodynamics. Apart from classes in the chosen branch of studies, she supplemented her knowledge in biology at the lectures of Władysław Szafer, in physics at the lectures of Władysław Natanson as well as philosophical lectures of Witold Rubczyński and Władysław Heinrich. She received her credits from all com-pulsory subjects and graduated on October 4, 1922. At the Jagiellonian University, she gained solid knowledge, participated in social activity (Chemistry Circle) and had a possibility to develop her religiosity in Marian Sodality.

The article presents biographical entries and professional achievements of three makers of scientific instruments from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, who were related with each other: Roman Calikowski (1886–1940), his brother Ludwik Calikowski (1889–1961) and Roman’s son Roman Julian (1915–1986). These mechanics worked at the Jagiellonian University between 1904 and 1962/1963. Two brothers, Roman and Ludwik, were associated with the University throughout their professional life. During their tenure, the University’s research in the field of low temperatures continued, which was initiated in 1883 by Zygmunt Wróblewski (1845–1888) and Karol Olszewski (1846–1915). The main scientific achievement of these researchers was the liquefaction of oxygen, nitrogen and other solid gases. In the late 19th century, Kraków was an important center of cryogenic research, in which the mechanics played important role. Roman Calikowski made instruments for liquefying gases according to the design of Karol Olszewski. Liquefiers from his workshop were ordered, inter alia, by universities in Chicago, Mumbai and Madrid. A few instruments from his workshop have been preserved in the collections of the Jagiellonian University. Ludwik Calikowski worked as a maker of scientific instruments in a university cryogenic laboratory. He served and maintained the apparatus for liquefying gases and made instruments, although none have survived to this day. Roman Julian Calikowski took over the workshop after his father. Until 1950 he ran his own company, which made simple small microscopes, surveing instruments, psychotechnical devices and other instruments. After moving to Warsaw, he devoted himself to scientific work. Roman Calikowski’s products, especially cryogenic apparatus, represented a high level of workmanship and safety. This is evidenced by numerous orders for its liquefiers submitted by foreign laboratories. The company of Roman Julian Calikowski, apart from a wide range of instruments it offered, used to repair photographic and measuring equipment.

Artykuł jest głosem historyka ruchu ludowego wywołanym toczącą się dyskusją na temat poczucia „wstydu” za chłopskie pochodzenie. W szczególności dotyczy on zapoczątkowanego w 2. połowie XIX wieku procesu wyrastania spośród chłopów inteligencji (z czasem też twórczej), przy równoczesnym bardzo silnie zakorzenionym zarówno w niej samej, jak i w całym ówczesnym społeczeństwie poczuciu „niższości” chłopów. Poczucie to skutkowało niejednokrotnie zacieraniem jego śladów owego pochodzenia, określanym przez światlejsze umysły – z oczywistą przyganą – jako „wysferzanie się”. Artykuł wskazuje też na niektóre historyczne przesłanki tak ukształtowanej polskiej mentalności stanowej i na bardzo wolny proces jej przemiany. Materiał faktograficzny, ilościowy, biograficzny, a także bibliograficzny do charakterystyki w tym artykule pierwszych pokoleń polskiej inteligencji chłopskiego pochodzenia, wykształconej w Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim w latach 1860–1918, zaczerpnięty został z dwu książek prof. UJ Andrzeja Kazimierza Banacha. Pierwsza z nich, wydana w roku 1997, a zatytułowana Młodzież chłopska na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim w latach 1860/61–1917/18 zawiera zbiorczą i imienną charakterystykę 3480 studentów z 4 istniejących wówczas wydziałów Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, to jest filozoficznego, teologicznego, prawniczego i lekarskiego. Druga natomiast, wydana w 2009 roku – Kariery zawodowe studentów Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego pochodzenia chłopskiego z lat 1860/1861–1917/1918 – przedstawia w części pierwszej przebieg owych karier, to jest awansów w dziedzinie zawodowej, publicznej i naukowej dla wybranych kilkudziesięciu postaci. W drugiej zaś części zawiera Słownik biobibliograficzny karier zawodowych dla tychże absolwentów, zawierający 1421 nazwisk. Jego ogromnym walorem jest dołączona do każdej postaci bibliografia drukowana i rękopiśmienna, wraz z sygnaturami poszczególnych zespołów akt, co czyni z tej części książki rodzaj vademecum do polskiej biografistyki.

This article is the voice of a historian of the peasant movement, brought forward by the discussion about the stigma of peasant origin. It concerns particularly the formation of a new type of intelligentsia (including artists) who recruited from the peasantry, but also touches the subject of the conviction about the inferiority of peasants. This prejudice, deeply rooted both in the minds of these new members of intelligentsia as well as in those of the rest of the society, frequently compelled them to erase the traces of their origin. Such a tendency was labelled by the more enlightened minds as “breaking out of one's social class”. This article also discusses some historical premises of the Polish class mentality as well as the slow process of its transformation. The factual, statistical, biographical and bibliographical material used in this article to characterise the first generations of the Polish intelligentsia of peasant origin, educated at the Jagiellonian University from 1860–1918, comes from two studies by Professor Andrzej Kazimierz Banach. The first of these, entitled “Young Peasants at the Jagiellonian University from 1860–1861 to 1917–1918” and published in 1997, contains the collective and individual characteristics of 3480 students of the four then existing departments of the Jagiellonian University, i.e. the philosophical, theological, juridical, and medical one. The second book, entitled “The Professional Careers of the Jagiellonian University Students of Peasant Origin from 1860–1861 to 1917–1918” and published in 2009, presents, in the first part, the course of the professional, public and academic careers of a select group of several dozen people. The second part of this publication, entitled “The Bio-bibliographical Dictionary of the Professional Careers”, contains the surnames of 1421 people. One of the great advantages of this dictionary is the bibliography. Each surname is accompanied by the bibliography related to its owner, including the shelf marks of particular files, which renders the whole book a specific vade mecum of the Polish biography.
