W hołdzie naszym Antenatom. 85 lat Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza

Abstract

The monograph presents the academic traditions of Poznań, which go back to the beginning of the 16th century. The Poznań Alma Mater originated from the Lubrański Academy ("Lubranscianum"), established in 1519, as well as from the Jesuit College ("Collegium Societatis Jesu"), founded in 1573. The University officially inaugurated its academic programme on 7 May 1919. Professor Święcicki was elected its first vice-chancellor. The monograph also contains extensive biographical notes on the University founders: Heliodor Święcicki (1854-1923), Michał Sobeski (1877-1939), Rev. Stanisław Kozierowski (1874-1949) and Józef Kostrzewski (1885-1969).
