  • Title: [Letters from professor Benedykt Dybowski to Professor Jan Grochmalicki, his former student and my father].
    Author: Grochmalicka-Mikołajczyk J.
    Journal: Arch Hist Filoz Med; 2000; 63(3-4):132-8. PubMed ID: 11767753.
    Abstract:
    A valuable contribution to familiarization with the character of professor Benedykt Dybowski (1833-1930), a physician and zoologist, sentenced to exile in Traugutt's trial, explorer of Siberia and professor of Jan Kazimierz University in Lwów, can be made by a two preserved letters from professor Dybowski to Jan Grochmalicki (1883-1936), who was his former student and the closest co-worker enjoying his special confidence. The exchange of letters began in April 1919 at the moment of professor Grochmalicki's moving to Poznań where he became head of the Department of Zoology at the University of Poznań, which was just established, and professor Dybowski remained in besieged Lwów. In the last letter written in June 1929, ailing 97-years old professor Dybowski says his farewells in the words "I am going at a quick pace to Nirvana". The letters throw light both on the difficult time of the birth of the Second Republic of Poland and rich personality of Benedykt Dybowski.
