Habilitacje na Wydziale Teologicznym Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w Krakowie w latach 1945-1954

Abstract

Until 1939 the Faculty of Theology of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow carried out twenty eight oral examinations on a thesis presented to qualify as assistant professor. After the end of World War II the first teologist, an assistant professor became priest Ignacy Różycki. Till 1952 when Act on the higher education and scientific employees came into force on 15 December 1951, repealing oral examinations on a thesis presented to qualify as assistant professor when one endeavoured to obtain a post of an assistant professor, the Faculty of Theology of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow promoted ten assistant professors. Only first four chronologically performed oral examinations on a thesis to qualify as assistant professor were approved by the Ministry of Education. One among the remaining was dismissed without giving any substantial grounds by the Ministry of Education, which did not assume any attitude to successive five oral examinations for assistant professors. In the years 1952-1954 professors of the Faculty of Theology of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow still carried out postgradual studies for assistant professors, however they had a private character. In this way six assistant professors were promoted. The last assistant professor promoted by the Faculty of Theology of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow was not priest Karol Wojtyła, but priest Józef Brudz.
