Abstract
AMONG the contributions to vol. 21 (1936) of Nauka . Polska is a long account (pp. 70) by Prof. Z. Lizowski of the present position of science at Poznan. This ancient centre of culture in western Poland has become the most intensely Polish of all the university cities in the country, partly because 95 per cent of its inhabitants are Poles and partly because of the impetus given to its development since the liberation of the country in 1918. From the time of the partition of the ancient kingdom of Poland until the end of the Great War, Poznan was nominally a German city, and although the pursuit of scientific investigations was possible it was hampered by cultural restrictions, including the suppression of the Polish language. Since 1919, a definite revival has occurred in all branches of pure and applied natural science and the university has attracted students, lecturers and distinguished visitors from other countries.
