On this day, the University inaugurated the first post-war academic year 1945/1946 with a lecture by professor Ludwik Hirszfeld – one of the greatest scholars at the time, known mostly for his achievements in immunology and microbiology. The first rector of the University was Stanisław Kulczyński. The event began the University’s development, with a new academic staff and a new spirit.
