Summary/Abstract: Polish educational law of the interwar period specified conditions for academic careers. Interwar legislation clearly distinguished academic education and assigned it a separate academic status based on the legal grounds used exclusively for these institutions. In this connection, a formal notion of a university teacher and his career were defined. The name “lecturer” concerned a person authorized to teach due to a postdoctoral degree or appointment as a professor. This situation leads to the conclusion that in the interwar period the concept of the “lecturer” was limited as many members of academic staff, who did not have a postdoctoral degree, were eliminated from this definition.
