In the academic circles of Cracow one of the most adequate candidates was considered to be Adam Mickiewicz, who on 4th January 1849 sent his firm declaration to the rector Józef Majer, stating that he would eagerly serve the Jagiellonian School and educate Polish students. The declaration however appeared to be insufficient for securing him the position of Polish literature professor at the University, as it was to be decided by the Austrian Ministerium des Cultus und des Unterrichtes, and the nomination was to be given by Franz Joseph I himself. Among those who did not support Mickiewicz for the position at the University was governor Wacław Zaleski.   VL - 2015 IS - Issue 142 (1) PY - 2015 SN - 0083-4351 C1 - 2084-4069 SP - 99 EP - 112 DO - 10.4467/20844069PH.15.007.3503 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/prace-historyczne/article/adama-mickiewicza-gotowosc-sluzenia-uniwersytetowi-jagiellonskiemu KW - Mickiewicz KW - Jagiellonian University KW - history of literature KW - Polish history and literary studies
