Summary/Abstract: In this article we present how Bronisław Chlebowski (the Main School’s alumnus) realized his ideals propagated by intelligentsia related with the Main School. The main part of disquisition is destinated to one of the most known text about Warsaw Main School "Znaczenie Szkoły Głównej Warszawskiej w dziejach umysłowości i nauki polskiej" (1912, The signification of Warsaw Main School in history of mind and of Polish science). The assessments on Polish culture and science from this text were compared with Bronisław Chlebowski’s reflections on the Main School contained in occasional texts written during First World War (it was connected with the fact that Bronisław Chlebowski took up the post of professor at the University of Warsaw in 1916 and because of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s death). The references to Main School are only contextual but they are very characteristic for Bronisław Chlebowski’s style of thinking.
