but after that only Markusovszky, Lumniczer and Frigyes Korányi played a direct part in drafting the Public Health Law, in the establishment of the Medical Institutes and the second university (Kolozsvár), and its medical faculty in particular (1872). The worries of Lajos Kossuth about the enormous concession made in 1867 in respect of national independence has proved justified, but the results in inner construction, the successes reached in the fields of education, public health, and scientific development, the narrowing of the gap between Hungary and the developed European countries, all justify the action of those who accepted the possibility of the compromise offered by history. This justification is due mainly to those who continued to be the followers of the real historical liberalism of Hungary, who remained true to its national, social, and humanist world of thoughts even in the decades beginning with the premiership of Kálmán Tisza (after 1875), which abused the slogans of liberalism. To them belong the great Hungarian physicians of the medical school of Pest, who served scientific and social progress in their field and rejected conservatism with its increasing narrow-mindedness.
