The article is a contribution to the biography of an eminent Polish historian and Slavist Henryk Batowski (1907-1999). It presents his academic activity from sum- mer of 1925 until autumn of 1927. Atthattime he was studying philology atthe John Casimir University in Lvov. Batowski became a leader of several Polish student associations. Ali of them were under the influence of the National Democratic Youth. He took part in works of few other, non-academic societies, most of which were connected to Slav cooperation, the idea to which Batowski paid great attention. Neither Józef Piłsudski’s ruling camp nor an anti-government student community of Lvov were supporting Batowski’s favorite ideas.
