Universitarii clujeni şi Basarabia după 1918. Câteva consideraţii
Professors from the University of Cluj and Bessarabia after 1918. A few considerations

Summary/Abstract: This text undertakes to investigate the way in which the members of the academia in Transylvania – namely the university professors and students with the Romanian University in Cluj, founded after 1919 – were interested in Bessarabia and in the issues of this province, become in its turn part of the Greater Romania after the First World War. I will try to achieve this on two levels – on one hand, to point out the topics of interest of Cluj-based university members regarding Bessarabia (if there were research projects or other scientific or cultural bilateral contacts), and on the other hand, to analyze the impressions and speeches of Cluj-based intellectuals, related to Bessarabia, about this region. In my endeavour, I will use several types of sources – press, archive documents, memoirs. The purpose was to outline – even only partially – the image of Bessarabia in the mindset of the interwar Transylvanian elite.
