On an Extraordinary Teacher

Summary/Abstract: The presented commemorative sketch refers to the figure of the Reverend Professor Marian Lewko depicting him as an outstanding academic teacher thoroughly engrossed in University activi- ties. He perceived his didactic work as pursuit which bore a sense of mission. It evokes the Profes- sor’s flair for conducting classes – always carefully prepared and perfectly taught – and his unri- valled wish to cover the chosen material fully and diligently. The text also underlines the issue of high requirements; both proposed and adhered to. Having been an exceptional documentalist and an insightful analyst, the Reverend Professor himself expected his students to develop the knack for collecting needed materials, to adopt a responsible research approach and not to forget about meti- culousness needed in phenomenon analyses. At the same time, however, the text strongly emphasiz- es the Reverend Lewko’s extraordinary kindliness and his broad perspective on students’ needs. His sensitivity, his proficiency in sharing his knowledge with others together with his deep feeling of satisfaction, stimulated by his students’ successes, should not be forgotten. The unique sense of community present during Professor’s classes created favourable conditions for developing cordial human relations and for establishing close relationships between students and their teachers.
