Book excerpt: Excerpt from Higher Education in Russian, Austrian, and Prussian Poland For this undertaking it is necessary, first, to define more accurately the limits of the Kingdom of Poland at the time of her prosperity and of her decadence, while yet independent among the European nations; second, to give a sketch of the development of her educational facili ties in the way Of higher institutions of learning and universities during the period Of her independence. Only from a comparison of her educa tional conditions while independent can we ascertain and realize her progress or retrogression in higher education after her partition, the Changes wrought for good or for evil, the assimilation to or reaction against foreign influences, the transmutation of political and social ideals, the participation of the different classes in an education which is partly not their own, inoculated with ideals conceived by her con querors in order to bring her children to a gradual mental and intel lectual as well as physical subjection.
