Summary/Abstract: The text is devoted to the history of the Department of General History at the Jagiellonian University in the final period of Polonization of the Faculty of Philosophy. It presents the turbulent time of the personnel exchange in 1869–72, and especially the efforts of Ksawery Liske and Wincenty Zakrzewski for a professorship at the University, supported by the recently appointed professor of Polish history, Józef Szujski. These historians initiated the process of professionalization of historical research in Cracow and Lwów (Lviv, Lemberg), jointly established the institutional back-up facilities, and introduced new educational standards by transferring the models of the German critical school to Poland.
