[A failed attempt at establishing the public policlinic in Cracow in 1907]. / Nieudana proba zalozenia Powszechnej Polikliniki Krakowskiej w roku 1907.

The medical circles were reluctant to the publication of the Statutes of the Society of the Public Policlinic in Cracow; according to the concept of the Policlinic's founders, its purpose was to give free medical assistance to the sick, further education of its members in medical problems and performance of chemical research. The Society was to be joined by professors and assistant professors of the Jagiellonian University as well as hospital ward and laboratory heads. At the meetings held, the physicians objected to having a policlinic established because its activity might threaten the material existence of the physicians themselves. Similarly, prestige aspects spoke as well against having the Policlinic founded because the medical elite were to be treated there, constituting thus a hard competition to the remaining physicians. A strong counteraction of most physicians rendered the performance of this idea impossible.

[Jageillonian University medical students' relationship to awarding of the doctorate degree in all medical sciences in the period between wars]. / Studenci medycyny UJ wobec doktoratu wszech nauk lekarskich w okresie miedzywojennym.

The Academic Schools Act of 1920 and the Ordinance of 1924 pertaining to doctorates provided that one could earn the degree only having submitted a disseration. The Austrian Act which was in force up to that moment had allowed to receive the degree without writing a thesis. Protests voiced by medical students extended validity of the Act. The Jagiellonian University medicals played an important role in delaying the Ordinance coming into force. Protesting against the newest regulations they organized public meetings, wrote memorials and filled petitions. The Jagiellonian University Faculty of Medicine granted doctorates without dissertation up to the end of December 1932. However some doctorates were granted even after that term.
