Summary/Abstract: After the imperial change, a significant part of the Transylvanian Hungarian social institutions almost ceased to exist. In the beginning, even the most important associations could only receive a partial legal recognition. The National Casino of Cluj was one of the institutions which played an outstanding role in the spreading of Hungarian culture, in spite of the fact that the authorities monitored it strictly for two decades. Due to the directorate’s persistent work, they managed to create a pleasant and peaceful social environment inside the walls of the Casino. The main objective of this paper is to examine the affairs of the National Casino of Cluj between the world wars, the board management, and the directorate corps.
