Summary/Abstract: The author, a witness of the last twenty years of Professor Zenon Klemensiewicz’s life and activity, reminds the importance of his person for the period he helped to shape. He went beyond linguistics, and became a separate value of cultural, moral, and national life. He symbolized the model of a Polish patriot and researcher, heir to humanistic traditions, a romanticist and positivist in one. The paper passes down the author’s and the milieu’s memories of the rich and complex personality of the master and the boss, his extraordinary didactic and rhetoric talent, it is an introduction to a personal and academic biography of a typical Polish intellectual determined by two world wars.
