In June 1905, the library of the Society, along with many other institutions, was transferred, by order of the University Board, from the main building of the University to the building of the former student hostel, which is on the Arsk field, so far from the University! And again, thus, the library of our Society experienced the cruel vicissitudes of its fate. I involuntarily recall the unenviable history of our library, which I told about in my article: The library of the Kazan Society of Physicians for 25 years of its existence (1868-1895), published in the Diary of our Society of Physicians for 1895, issue. II: "Twenty-five Years of the Society of Physicians at the Imperial Kazan University". Let me give you a brief history of the ordeal of our library.

Referring to a corpus of epistolary sources kept in the personal archival fund of academician V. I. Vernadsky in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (correspondence sent to him from Crimea) and documents from the St Petersburg branch of the RAS Archive and the Department of Written Sources of the State Historical Museum, the author restores some aspects of the daily life of Crimean local history of the 1920s–1930s. Vernadsky’s attention to people and events on the peninsula are connected with a dramatic period of his biography, i.e. his unexpected tenure as rector of the University of Taurida (October 1920 — January 1921). Thanks to the participation of the university in the activities of the Taurida Scientific Association, the academician formed a social circle of scientists from different fields of knowledge in Crimea. The analysis of Vernadsky’s correspondence helps define his range of interests related to Crimean affairs after his departure from Crimea. Vernadsky, not indifferent to the fate of Taurida University (M. V. Frunze Pedagogical Institute) (during the years in question described as Crimean University), was interested in the fate of the prominent professors who he worked with at the university in 1920. Thanks to the Crimean correspondence of A. I. Markevich, the leader of the local history movement, the author has been able to clarify the fate of individual manuscripts by V. I. and G. V. Vernadsky and the history of transfer of funds of the pioneers of comprehensive exploration of the peninsula P. I. Köppen and H. H. Steven to the Archives of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The epistolary heritage of geologists P. A. Dvoichenko and S. P. Popova, Vernadsky’s former colleagues at Taurida University, makes it possible to recreate the pages of the research of the natural productive forces of Crimea carried out in those years. In his correspondence with professors E. V. Petukhov and N. L. Ernst, Vernadsky discussed individual issues that worried scientists.

AbstractThis article introduces a special issue on Ukrainian statehood. Based on the conference “A Century of Ukrainian Statehoods: 1917 and Beyond” at the University of Toronto, the special issue examines the relationship between the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1920 and the Soviet Ukrainian state over the long term. The authors survey the history of the Ukrainian SSR and propose two points of emphasis: the need to study the promises of “national” and “social” liberation in tandem and the persistent presence of an “internal other” in Soviet Ukrainian history.

This chapter considers Bodin’s theory of sovereignty. Bodin’s concept of sovereignty was the result of a war fought by the French state under the leadership of the king and the University of Paris against the king’s subjection to the Catholic Church and the empire, as well as against the subordination of state power to the feudal barons. Even before Bodin, the “initially relative, comparative concept of royal sovereignty” had changed to “an absolute one.” The state, represented in the king, which had heretofore only been superior in its relationship to the Church, empire, and barons, now became “supreme.” Bodin was the first to claim sovereignty as a defining criterion of the state.

Resumen: En la Constitución Argentina de 1994 se reconoce explícitamente por primera vez la autonomía de las universidades nacionales. Sin embargo, se deja abierta la discusión sobre sus determinaciones y alcance, particularmente en cuanto a su capacidad de autogobierno y su relación con el Estado. En este artículo, nos proponemos contribuir a esta discusión a partir de analizar el alcance e impacto de la autonomía universitaria en la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) en esa doble dimensión. Para ello, y en tanto qué se entiende por autonomía es parte del mencionado debate, recuperamos de la historia de la Universidad el concepto de autonomía universitaria en su dimensión de autogobierno y de vínculo con autoridades xternas. En la Universidad Medieval esta dimensión aparece como autonomía corporativa, e identificamos su vigencia en la Universidad Ilustrada. La recapitulación histórica se completa con una referencia local: la Reforma Universitaria de 1918. Ésta inaugura el cogobierno universitario, estructura de gobierno que se propone garantizar la autonomía como autogobierno. A partir de allí repasamos cómo la historia de la Universidad en Argentina contribuye a moldear las determinaciones y alcance de su autonomía en la doble dimensión propuesta. La reconstrucción histórica es utilizada para evaluar la estructura de gobierno de la UBA en la actualidad y su vínculo con el Estado. El artículo concluye con una reflexión sobre la crisis de representatividad de los órganos de cogobierno de esta universidad y sobre la tensión en su vínculo con el Estado, reflexión que pone en cuestión el alcance de su autonomía. Palabras clave: Universidad; Autonomía Universitaria; Autogobierno Universitario; Relación Universidad-Estado; Universidad de Buenos Aires.Abstract: The Argentinean Constitution of 1994 recognizes the autonomy of national universities. Nevertheless, it leaves an open discussion concerning its determinants and scope, especially regarding its self-government capacity and its relationship with the State. In this article, we expect to contribute to this discussion by analyzing the scope and impact of university’s autonomy in the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) concerning that double dimension. In order to do so, and considering that how autonomy is defined is part of the ongoing debate, we start by stu dying the meaning of university’s autonomy through University’s history focusing on its self-government capacity and its relationship with external political authorities. In the Medieval University this double dimension of university’s autonomy was developed as its corporative autonomy and it remained valid in the Enlightenment University. This historical recapitulation is completed by referring to a local experience: the 1918 University’s Reform which inaugurates university’s co-government, a governance structure that aims to assure university’s autonomy as its selfgovernance. We then revisit who the recent history of Argentina’s university contributes to define the characteristics and scope of its autonomy in this double dimension. All these historical references are used to evaluate the UBA’s current governance structure and its relationship with the National State. The article ends with some considerations about the crisis of representativeness that the UBA is facing and about the tension concerning its relationship with the State which allows us to challenge the scope of its autonomy.Keywords:  University; University’s Autonomy; Self-government of the University; University-State relationship; Universidad de Buenos Aires.

The private higher education system has been facing many challenges in the history of its development, which was harshly handled by the different points of view of political regimes. The system in the general higher education system in all over the world has slowly and weakly improved. Until the 80s of the 20th century, the system revived and obviously developed thanks to the increasing educating demand although many countries were facing financial difficulties to support it. In Vietnam, the private higher education system appeared by 1975 in the south, but this model and the its regulations had been forgotten until the beginning of the 90s of 20th century. This research is evaluating the present higher education system in different aspects that are the international definition of private higher education, brief history and the development of the system in Republic of France as an example, privatization forms and finance for the system, and suggestions to define policies for the system in Vietnam.

New research perspectives on books of friendshipThe article, based on a study of books of friendship alba amicorum in the collection of the University Library in Wrocław, aims at presenting new research perspectives on this kind of manuscripts. The author outlines the history of books of friendship and gives an explanation on the state of research footnotes 11 to 19, focusing on methods and undertaken topics. In the subsequent sections, alba amicorum are presented as “Objects and elements of the network,” “Collections” and “Performances.” The section “Objects and network elements of the network” refers to the return to materiality and the idea of the agency of things. It presents alba amicorum as material entities not only carriers of certain information or pieces of art, as well as an active part in the development and sustaining of social networks. Each book of friendship is both a collection of autographs, visual objects, quotes from literature and a collectible piece. This approach was presented in the section titled “Collections.” At the same time, alba amicorum gathered in museums or libraries tend to lose their performative character, presented in the last section.

This article outlines different stages of education in social sciences at the Faculty of Education of the Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira, articulated with the national and international context. We adhere to the conception of Jaime Jaramillo Uribe on the history of education as cultural and political history, to analyze the double perspective of internal history, which accounts for the different relationships between the field of knowledge and disputes of a curricular nature; besides, external history, represented in the contexts of each era in the reforms emanating from the State that generated contradictions in the academic communities, which resulted in ideological conflicts within the university between political sectors, and in the recurring tensions between modernization and autonomy. It is about to analyze historically the relationships between the teacher education at the School of Social Sciences of the UTP and the curricular restructuring that were deciding in the search ...

The article is observed the archeological activity of the native of German colony of Sarata in Budzhak and the author of first excavations of the barrows of this region, Professor F. I. Knauer. Fedor (Friedrich) Ivan Knauer (1849—1917) graduated the Sarata Teachers College (1865). He studied linguistics, Sanskrit and German at the Universities of Jena and Tubingen, graduated the University of Derpt (1882) where he defended his doctoral thesis (1884). After that he worked at St. Vladimir University in Kiev as Professor of the Department of Comparative Linguistics and Sanskrit (from 1886 to 1915). He participated the XI Archaeological Congress in Kiev (1899), XIII (1902, Hamburg) and XVI (1912, Athens) international congresses of orientalists. The scholar engaged in archaeology under the influence of members of the Historical Society of Nestor the Chronist, in particular Professor V. B. Antonovich. One of his tasks was to gather the collection for the creation of the archaeological museum at St. Vladimir’s University. The fieldwork of the scholar in 1888—1889, 1891, and 1899 are described in the paper. During these works he examined 11 barrows on the banks of the rivers Sarat and Kogylnik and found 75—77 graves which were compiled to the chrono-stratigraphic column of burials from the Eneolithic to the Middle Ages. In the special annex to the paper the materials of research of the author of 2018 were revealed, during which the state of the majority of thebarrows of F. I. Knauer was discovered and some of which are proposed to be excavated
