Summary/Abstract: The author asks to what extent the university can be considered as a social laboratory, in which personal biography of a student as well as community of students and theirs masters are built. The essence of such formation is the process of self-improving of both the scholars (scientists and teachers) and students. She finds the trust as a crucial value developed in such community. University rituals and educational experiences recorded in documentary literature illustrates the meaning of the university as a place of biographical formation. This is also a place of collecting the identity capital.
