| Summary: | The first volume of “The History of the University of Warsaw” covers the history of the Warsaw university from its founding in 1816 to the outbreak of World War I. In addition to providing a concise overview of the institution's history, the authors paint vivid portraits of the university's staff and student communities and, particularly important given the dramatic events that have shaped Poland's history over the last two centuries, recount the history of the university's relations with the political authorities.
The origins of the University date back to the Duchy of Warsaw, when the School of Law and Administrative Sciences and the Medical School were established in Warsaw. The University was finally established in 1816, becoming the crowning achievement of the educational system of the Kingdom of Poland and an important center of education for the Polish intelligentsia. After the fall of the November Uprising, it was closed down – at that time, only secondary schools existed in Warsaw. In the years 1862–1869, the Main School, although not named a university, essentially fulfilled its role. After the suppression of the January Uprising, the School was transformed into the Russian-language Imperial University of Warsaw. It was often considered by Poles to be a foreign body, but the authors preparing the publication decided that it would be a mistake to omit or marginalize this phase of the University of Warsaw's history. The Imperial University of Warsaw was not completely separated from Polish society: for a long time, most of its students were Polish, and there were also Polish lecturers. The history of the Russian-speaking University of Warsaw is an important part of the history of Russian-Polish relations during that period. In addition, the Imperial University of Warsaw deserves attention as one of the empire's universities with its own achievements. The evacuation of the Russian university to Rostov-on-Don in 1915, when the Russians left the Vistula River region, and its nearly two years of activity there under the name “Warsaw,” conclude the first volume of “The History.”
The three richly illustrated volumes of “The History of the University of Warsaw” are the first attempt in nearly 40 years to present a comprehensive history of the University of Warsaw, covering the history of the university from its inception to the present day. |
