Activities of the Teaching Staff Association of the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius (1923–1939): An Outline of the Problem

Summary/Abstract: The author’s basic intention is to sketch the short history of the foundation, its structure, and the goals of its activities, as well as the ways they are implemented by members of the Teaching Staff Association of Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. Another important intention of the article is to show the sources for the history of this Association, which can be used for further research. This Association was active in the period 1923–1939; it gathered academic teachers from Vilnius University. Its main goal was to support the development of science in general, and above all to help in the preparation of new, well-educated members of the staff not only for universities, but also for the other important institutions in the reborn Polish state. A no less important goal in the Association’s activities was to integrate the university environment around important scientific issues, as well as to care about the living conditions of the students and their families. The members of the Association were academic teachers of all faculties of Stefan Batory University. The information presented in this outline is the result of an analysis primarily of archival materials found in the papers and memoirs of one of the members of the Association, Tadeusz Czeżowski, who at the time of his arrival in Toruń from Vilnius was one of the founders of the University of Toruń. These materials are available in the Archives of the Nicolaus Copernicus University.
