Summary/Abstract: In this article was described the last period of the Main School’s activity on the basis of forgotten diary written by one of the librarians of school – Julian Bartoszewicz. Without distance from occurred changes we can see more critical Main School’s picture as it has been presented in the anniversary memories of the Main School’s alumna. In his diary notes Julian Bartoszewicz assessed some professors negatively, because of their compliance and he described the helplessness against the transformation of school into Imperial University of Warsaw. These diary notes are so important because there are a very few so detailed relations on the Main School’s close (there are a lot of materials concerning the establishment of the Main School). The staff of professors was dispersed, the number of students was decreased and first of all a valuable collection of Main School’s Library was lost – all of this creates the picture of difficult time of Polish culture ten years after fall of January Uprising.
