Câteva date referitoare la studiile membrilor Academiei Române până la 1918
Some Data Referring to the Studies of the Members of the Romanian Academy (1866-1918)

Summary/Abstract: Founded in 1866, the Romanian Academic Society, afterwards The Romanian Academy, brought together „representatives of letters, sciences and fine arts”, in accordance with the stipulations of its organic law. Consequently, until 1918, in the supreme scientific and cultural forum of the country there were elected from all the Romanian provinces, over 200 „active”, correspondent and „honorary” members, specialists in various domains of the Romanian cultural and scientific life: writers, historians, archaeologists, scientists, and representatives of the Church and of the army, politicians. The research of their biographies reveals very interesting data on their general and special education. The future members of the Romanian Academy oriented themselves towards the most famous educational institutions in the country - especially from Iasi, Bucharest, Cluj and Chernivtsi - or abroad, which could offer them the maximum of knowledge. Most of them tried to specialize themselves or to take their doctoral degree in famous European university centres: at Paris, Berlin, Bonn, Leipzig, Heidelberg, Gressen, Vienna, Budapest, Liège, Brussels, Kiev, Athens, Padua etc. We have to remark that most of them chose for their doctoral dissertation „Romanian” subjects, using the knowledge acquired at the universities from their country, and, at the same time, thinking about their future career, which they intended to develop in Romania. On the other hand, by choosing such themes for their doctoral dissertations, they succeeded in accustoming the foreign specialist to Romanian problems, increasing the interest towards our country, some of them becoming close friends of Romania through the effort of these young men, and even, some of them, members of the supreme scientific and cultural forum from Bucharest, often proposed by their former students, and then, members of the Romanian Academy.
