Summary/Abstract: The text is a contribution to research on political student life at technical universities in Poland in the 1930s, aimed at a better understanding of the ideological roots of modern Polish architecture. The student environment at the Faculty of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology, at that time was characterised by a high degree of politicisation and the radicalisation of attitudes typical of the period. The popularity of national-radical and communist organisations evidences this. However, the characteristic feature of the overwhelming majority of this politically active environment was radical, traditionalist rather than revolutionary - Christian nationalism.
