Summary/Abstract: An emblematic representant of the generation of the Great Union, dr. Cornel Luțai (1889–1968) was born in Nădlac, Arad County; in November 18, 1911, he became a Juris Doctor at the University in Cluj. Once graduating he applied for a trainee lawyer at Szeged Bar (June 1, 1911–March 12, 1912), and at Arad Bar, working within the offices of advocates Nemet János and Iustin Marșieu up to July 1, 1914. He was invited to take part in Alba Iulia National Assembly in (December 1, 1918) and involved after in the political-administrative life in Arad. As a mayor of this town (1928–1931), he modernized the urban transport, embellished the center of Arad, and joined the neighouring villages; he also backed the cultural life and the deserving young people. The communist times did not absolve him from nationalization. Advocate dr. Corneliu Luțai, perseveringly and tiresomely setting his career, was a visionary mind, an important intellectual, and a reformer at his times. He weaved a worthy of consideration story on him, as well as the whole generation of the Great Union.
