Summary/Abstract: In this essay the author takes up the reflection about the way of functioning of the Main School in collective memory in 1914–1918. The time of First World War – essential on account of process of the rebirth of the Polish state after 120 years of political slavery – became the period developing the new perspective of thinking about the national life’s institutions in the time of partitions. The Main School – as one of these institutions – acquired the significance in Polish cultural awareness of years of the war as the institution of the ideas of collective mentality in time of partitions but primarily was very important for Polish cultural milieu of intelligentsia. The publicists as Andrzej Niemojewski or Zdzisław Dębicki in their Main School’s retrospective examination saw the Main School as the institution which formed and consolidated the Polish intelligentsia and formed the intelligentsia’s ethos.
