In 1862 departments of Law and Administration, Philology and History, and Mathematics and Physics were opened. The newly-established college gained importance and was soon renamed the "Main School" (Szkoła Główna). However, after the January 1863 Uprising the liberal period ended and all Polish-language schools were closed again. The January Uprising ( Polish: powstanie styczniowe, Lithuanian: 1863 m Polish ( język polski, polszczyzna) is the Official language of Poland. During its short existence, the Main School educated over 3,000 students, many of whom became the backbone of Polish intelligentsia.

The Main School was replaced with a Russian-language "Imperial University of Warsaw". Russian ( transliteration:,) is the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia, the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages Its purpose was to provide education for the Russian military garrison of Warsaw, the majority of students (up to 70% out of an average of 1 500 to 2 000 students) were Poles.

Russification (in Russian: русификация rusifikátsiya)is an adoption of the Russian language or some other Russian attribute (whether voluntarily However, various underground organizations soon started to grow and the students became their leaders in Warsaw.

The Polish language was reintroduced, and the professors were allowed to return to work. In order not to let the Polish patriotic movement out of control the number of lecturers was kept low (usually not more than 50), but there were no limits on the number of students. Until 1918 their number rose from a mere 1,000 to over 4,500.

1918-39

After Poland regained its independence in 1918, the University of Warsaw began to grow very quickly. See also Second Polish Republic The History of interwar Poland starts with the recreation of independent Poland in 1918 and ends with the occupation of It was reformed; all the important posts (the rector, senate, deans and councils) became democratically elected, and the state spent considerable amounts of money to modernize and equip it. The word rector ("ruler" from the Latin regere and Rector meaning "Teacher" In Latin has a number of different meanings but all of them indicate an academic A senate is a Deliberative body, often the Upper house or chamber of a Legislature or Parliament. Many professors returned from exile and cooperated in the effort. By the late 1920s the level of education in Warsaw had reached that of western Europe.

By the beginning of the 1930s the University of Warsaw had become the largest university in Poland, with over 250 lecturers and 10,000 students. However, the financial problems of the newly-reborn state did not allow for free education, and students had to pay a tuition fee for their studies (an average monthly salary for a year). Tuition means instruction or teaching. In American English, the term tuition is often used to refer to a fee charged for educational instruction Also, the number of scholarships was very limited, and only approximately 3% of students were able to get one. A scholarship is an award of access to an institution or a financial aid award for an individual student scholar for the purpose of furthering their Education Despite these economic problems, the University of Warsaw grew rapidly.

After the Polish Defensive War of 1939 the German authorities of the General Gouvernment closed all the institutions of higher education in Poland. This article covers the topic of underground education in Poland (Tajne szkolnictwo or pl tajne komplety) during World War II The Invasion of Poland (1939 precipitated World War II.

German racist theories assumed that no education of Poles was needed and the whole nation was to be turned into uneducated serfs of the German race. List of racism-related topics|Racism by country Racism, by its simplest definition is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that Education in Polish was banned and punished with death. However, many professors organized the so-called "Secret University of Warsaw" (Tajny Uniwersytet Warszawski). The lectures were held in small groups in private apartments and the attendants were constantly risking discovery and death. However, the net of underground faculties spread rapidly and by 1944 there were more than 300 lecturers and 3,500 students at various courses.

Most of the students took part in the Warsaw Uprising as the soldiers of Armia Krajowa and Szare Szeregi. The Warsaw Uprising ( Powstanie Warszawskie) was a World War II struggle by the Polish Home Army ( Armia Krajowa) to liberate Warsaw Grey Ranks (Szare Szeregi was a codename for the underground Polish Scouting Association ( pl Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego) The German-held campus of the University was turned into a well-fortified area with bunkers and machine gun nests. For other uses of the phrase see Machine Gun (disambiguation. Also, it was located close to the buildings occupied by the German garrison of Warsaw. Heavy fights for the campus started on the first day of the Uprising, but the partisans were not able to break through the fortified gates. Several assaults were bloodily repelled and the campus remained in German hands until the end of the fights.

During the uprising and the occupation 63 professors were killed, either during fights or as an effect of German policy of extermination of Polish inteligentsia. For the coffee shop company often called Intelligentsia for short see Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea. The University lost 60% of its buildings during the fighting in 1944. Up to 80% of the collections (including priceless works of art and books donated to the University) were either destroyed or transported to Germany, never to return.

1945-56

After World War II it was not clear whether the university would be restored or whether Warsaw itself would be rebuilt. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including However, many professors who had survived the war returned to Poland and began organizing the university from scratch. In December 1945, lectures resumed for almost 4,000 students in the ruins of the campus, and the buildings were gradually rebuilt. Until the late 1940s the university remained relatively independent. However, soon the communist authorities of Poland started to impose controls and the period of Stalinism started. Communism is a Socioeconomic structure that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless Society based Stalinism is the political regime named after Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union from 1929–1953 Many professors were arrested by the Urząd Bezpieczeństwa (Secret Police), the books were censored and ideological criteria in employment of new lecturers and admission of students were introduced.

After Władysław Gomułka rose to power in Poland in 1956 a brief period of liberalization ensued, though communist ideology still played a major role in most faculties (especially in such faculties as history, law, economics and political science). Władysław Gomułka ( February 6, 1905, Krosno - September 1, 1982) was a Polish Communist leader International cooperation was resumed and the level of education rose, but the government soon started to suppress freedom of thought, which led to increasing unrest among the students. An anti-Semitic and anti-democratic campaign in 1968 led to an outbreak of student demonstrations in Warsaw, which were brutally crushed by the police and militia groups of ordinary workers. The Polish 1968 political crisis (also known in Polish as 'March 1968' or 'March events' Marzec 1968 or wydarzenia marcowe) describes the major Student and intellectual As a result, a large number of students and professors were expelled from the university, while some were drafted into the army. Most professors of Jewish descent were forced to emigrate, while the leaders of the democratic movement, Jacek Kuroń and Karol Modzelewski, were sentenced to 3. Jacek Jan Kuroń (ˈjatsɛk ˈjan ˈkurɔɲ born 3 March 1934 in Lvov, died 17 January 2004 in Warsaw) was one of the Karol Modzelewski (born 1937 is a Polish historian writer and politician 5 years in prison.

Nevertheless, the University remained the centre of free thought and education. What professors could not say during lectures, they expressed during informal meetings with their students. Many of them became leaders and members of the Solidarity movement and other societies of the democratic opposition. The scientists working at the University of Warsaw were also among the most prominent printers of books forbidden by censorship. Censorship is the suppression of speech or deletion of communicative material which may be considered objectionable harmful or sensitive as determined by a censor
