NOT ONLY AS MEMBER OF THE ACADEMY AUTHORITIES. THE ASSOCIATIONS OF JAN MICHAŁ ROZWADOWSKI WITH THE ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES AND THE POLISH ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES (SELECTED ISSUES)

Summary/Abstract: Jan Michał Rozwadowski is one of the most prominent Polish linguists. With great academic predispositions and achievements, he was able to move quite quickly into the structure of the Academy of Arts and Sciences and then to the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences. In many capacities, for example in the area of commission, he displayed great ability in organizing current tasks and furthering the development of science. This had a huge impact on his choice, first for the head of the Philology Department, then the vice president and finally the president of the Academy. The author discusses Rozwadowski’s relations with the intellectual community centered around this institution. From the end of the 19th century, Rozwadowski, with his great authority and organizational skills, had a decisive influence on the development of linguistics in the Academy. The most prominent figures in the Academy, however, were Kazimierz Nitsch and Tadeusz Jan Kowalski, who played a huge role in the post-war history of the institution.
