Angol nyelvű kivonat (Summary)

Győző Bruckner The past and the cultural acrivity of the Academy of Law in Miskolc (1919-1949) The nowadays published parts of remembrance in manuscript consisting of nearly thousand pages constitute an important source about the history of the town between the two world wars. The history of Lutheran Academy of Law that escaped from Eperjes to Miskolc was written precisely and objectively by the only dean of college in Miskolc. His work reflects well the state of town public life after world war 1 and that of the legal training of the age. The introductory chapters are dealing with 19 th. century history of the Lutheran College founded in 1667 in Eperjes and with the removement of it into Miskolc. The new-born Czechoslovakian state did not want to keep the law education in Hungarian language, didn't lay claim to the Academy of Law. The conceptions of the cultural policy about the law education and the goverment position for the suppressing of the education on the Academy of Law are illustrated with the parts about the hard beginnings in Miskolc and the crisis after the subvention was cut off. The Ministry of Education led by Kuno Klebesberg did not support the two-stage legal education endavoured to wind up the academies of law. But the academies of law were without exception coordinated by the Church, their liquidation would have violated the denominational rights put down in the coustitution. During the battle against the liquidation a close co-operation was formed among the school supporting Church, the Academy of law protecting its autonomy and the town affected in its basic intrests, which was typical at that time. The town gave the most help to solve the problems of the institution. In the agreement that concluded with the dean Győző Bruckner's help Miskolc undertook the greatest part of the costs of the education. The teachers of the legal college promised settling in Miskolc, and active co-operation in the intellectual life of the town for it. The remembrance gives a short account and an appreciation of the agreement concerning this aid in an independent chapter. After the stabilization of the Academy of Law a new struggle began for the raising of the number of students. The author discribes the viewpoint of the Lutherian Church and its struggle for educational autonomy in detail. The request of the academy was supported by the patron body of Eperjes and the town too. It was at that time when a close contact was formed among the three denominational academies of law.
