Professors of the University of Agriculture in Kraków and their non-professional work

The University of Agriculture is a technical school. Our Professors have unquestionable successes in the fields of sciences they specialise in. What is worth mentioning, is that some of them also show great talents in the area of humanities as authors of literary works, both poetry and prose. This paper discusses the profiles of three deceased ‘technical humanities scientists’: Professor Stefan Myczkowski, PhD., Professor Leszek Czuchajowski, PhD. Eng., and Professor Jan Koteja, PhD. Eng. All three professors represented the World War II generation: “the dark night of occupation”3 was the time of Myczkowski and Czuchajowski’s youth and Koteja’s young adolescence. Some of them did not live through the end of the Polish People’s Republic to see the political transformation.
