CORNELIU CODREANU TO THE LEGIONARIES December 6, 1935, Cannen Sylva LEGIONARIES, I write for our legionary family. For all legionaries: those in villages, In factories and in the university. I do not pay attention to any regulation imposed on book authors. I have no time. I write hastily on the battlefield, in the midst of attacks. At this hour we are surrounded on all sides. The enemies strike us treacherously and treason bites us. For two years we have been bound by the chains of an infamous censorship. For two years our name and that of legionary are tolerated by the press only to be insulted. A rain of treacheries is heaped upon us while our enemies applaud and hope that we shall perish. But these knights of cowardice, as well as their masters, will be convinced, in fact, soon, that all the attacks in which they pooled their hopes of destroying the legionary movement, all their agitation and desperate efforts, will remain fruitless. Legionaries do not die. Erect, immovable, invincible and immortal, they look forever victorious over the impotent convulsions of hatred. _ * _ The opinion created in the non-legionary world by the lines that follow is of no consequence to me and their effect upon that world does not interest me. What I want is that you, soldiers of other Romanian horizons, while reading these recollections, recognize in them your own past and remember your battles; that you re-live the suffering you endured and the blows you took for our people; that you fill your hearts with fire and stand firm in the difficult and righteous struggle in which you are engaged and out of which we all have the command to emerge either victorious or dead. I think of you as I write. Of you who will have to die, receiving the baptism of death with the serenity of our ancestral Thracians. And of you, those who will have to step over the dead and their tombs, carrying in your hands the victorious banners of the Romanians. STEPPING INTO LIFE IN THE DOBRINA FOREST Here we are, congregated one afternoon in the spring of 1919 in the Dobrina Forest which stands sentinel on the heights around Husi. Who? A group of about 20 high school students, sophomores, juniors and seniors. I called these young comrades together to discuss a grave problem, though our life was but budding. What are we going to do if the Bolsheviks invade us? My opinion, with which the others were in accord, was this: if the Bolshevik army crosses the Dniester, then the Pruth, reaching our region, we shall not submit, but will take refuge in the woods armed; we will organize there a center of Romanian action and resistance, and by skillful action shake up the enemy; we will maintain a spirit of non-submission, and keep alive a spark of hope amidst the Romanian masses in villages and towns. We all took an oath in the middle of the ancient forest. This forest was a corner of that famous woods of Tigheciu on whose paths, throughout Moldavia's history, many an enemy found death. We decided to acquire weapons and ammunition, to maintain total secrecy, to engage in reconnoitering and battle exercises there in the forest and to establish a front which would mask our intentions. We easily found this front and we soon brought it into being: a cultural-national association of the students at the high school of Husi which we named "Mihail Kogalniceanu." It was approved by the high school principal. Then we began get-togethers and lectures in town. We treated the customary subjects in public, while in the woods we simulated battle exercises. In those titnes one could find weapons everywhere, so that within about two weeks we collected all we needed. _*_ There was then such a chaotic state of affairs in the country that we, though but children hardly over 18 years of age, understood all too well. Everybody was thinking about the Bolshevik revolution which was well underway only a few steps over the border. The peasantry was opposed to this destroying wave out of instinct, but completely disorganized, could not put up a serious resistance.

Prof., PhD, ”Spiru Haret” University of Bucharest Abstract: Throughout his entire life and work, Titu Maiorescu (1840-1917) could be considered a great thinker, a tutor and a fighter for assertion of values in Romanian culture in one of the most emergent epochs in the history of Romanian literature: 1863-1917. Arthur Schopenhauer came into the world on February 22, 1788 in Danzig [Gdansk, Poland] in a Dutch family implied in international business trade both as a merchant and as a ship-owner. As a translator in Romanian of Arthur Schopenhauerřs work (1788-1866), Titu Maiorescu opened new knowledge tracks to the work of one of the most important thinkers of the time, whose philosophy, with an aesthetic perception of life, more musical and literary in the ability of expression and in the styles of understanding had been widely influential in the 20th century thinkers. Both scholars, Arthur Schopenhauer and Titu Maiorescu stated that the highest purpose of art is to communicate Platonic Ideas. The subject matter and stylistic arrangement of the Aphorisms were significant influences on the work of Titu Maiorescu whose later work exploresŕfollowing Schopenhauerŕ the relation of man to himself, the universe, the state, and women through the art of aphorism. Keywords: Titu Maiorescu, Zizin Cantacuzino, Arthur Schopenhauer, first European translation of Parerga und Paralipomena, aphorisms Among the famous personalities who used to attend the Junimea society (1863) and the review Convorbiri literare / Literary Discussions Ŕ translated title (1867) we first remind the five founders: Titu Maiorescu, Vasile Pogor, P.

  • Henri H. Stahl's Contribution to the Sociological Monographs of the Bucharest School of Sociology
    UTOPIA CONSTRUCTIVĂ A MONOGRAFIEI HENRI H. STAHL’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOCIOLOGICAL MONOGRAPHS OF THE BUCHAREST SCHOOL OF SOCIOLOGY ALINA JURAVLE* ABSTRACT This study is an attempt to shed light onto Henri H. Stahl’s contribution to the sociological monographs that were the core of the Bucharest School of Sociology’s activity. Stahl is presented as an active member of the School, bringing into it his own background and abilities, distinct or shared views, values and interests and then impacting it through his actions which, combined with other factors, distinctively change and shape its development. As such, the study is also not an attempt to summarize his theoretical developments and to compare and place them in rapport with those of other social scientists. The purpose of this study is to expose at least partially the degree to which the knowledge that Stahl generates and uses differs in shape and contents from that of Dimitrie Gusti, regarding the manner in which it is used in his course towards a certain role and status in the School, the manner in which his course in the School develops, and the manner in which his personal characteristics and options, group and organizational developments and the wider social context interact in order to shape published sociological knowledge. Keywords: Henri H. Stahl, sociological monographs, Bucharest School of Sociology, knowledge. THE SOCIOLOGICAL MONOGRAPH – THEORY, METHOD, PRINTED SCIENTIFIC RESULT The following study is an attempt to shed light onto Henri H. Stahl’s contribution to the sociological monographs that were the core of the Bucharest School of Sociology’s activity.

  • Partidele Parlamentare Si Problema Comunismului Intern Si Extern În Adunarea Deputatilor
    PARTIDELE PARLAMENTARE ŞI PROBLEMA COMUNISMULUI INTERN ŞI EXTERN ÎN ADUNAREA DEPUTAŢILOR (1919-1924) La sfârşitul Primului Război Mondial, România se învecina cu Rusia Sovietică, singura ţară comunistă din lume la acea vreme. Între cele două state exista o situaţie tensionată. Relaţiile diplomatice erau întrerupte din ianuarie 1918, iar apartenenţa Basarabiei la statul român era pusă în discuţie de către sovietici. Mai mult, existau temeri referitoare la o posibilă încercare de comunizare forţată a României, cu largul sprijin al Internaţionalei a III-a. „Rusia eternă” a fost percepută nu numai ca un stat ostil, ci şi ca o sursă ideologică pentru socialiştii români 1. În aceste condiţii, comunismul a constituit subiectul multor analize, mai mult sau mai puţin furtunoase, în cadrul opiniei publice româneşti, inclusiv în Parlamentul de la Bucureşti. Apariţia statului bolşevic şi evoluţiile acestuia au fost privite cu interes. Exceptând zvonurile şi speculaţiile, realităţile sovietice au fost cunoscute în România interbelică. Opere ale liderilor bolşevici 2, discursuri ale acestora 3, mărturii ale unor foşti prizonieri întorşi din Rusia Sovietică 4, articole din ziare româneşti şi străine, au constituit suportul multor dezbateri din Adunarea Deputaţilor. Instaurarea regimului bolşevic a stârnit numeroase discuţii în societatea românească, aflată, de asemenea, într-un proces de transformări sociale şi politice. Diferitele cuvântări şi polemici din Cameră reflectă temerile, speranţele opiniei publice româneşti faţă de viitorul său, privit şi prin prisma prefacerilor politice şi sociale din statul vecin de la răsărit. Singurii deputaţi care şi-au exprimat fără echivoc simpatia faţă de Rusia Sovietică au făcut parte din grupul parlamentar socialist. Această grupare politică minusculă, dar foarte activă, încerca să se impună pe scena politică românească, deşi 1 Deputatul Partidului Poporului, D.R.

  • Romania Redivivus
    alexander clapp ROMANIA REDIVIVUS nce the badlands of neoliberal Europe, Romania has become its bustling frontier. A post-communist mafia state that was cast to the bottom of the European heap by opinion- makers sixteen years ago is now billed as the success story Oof eu expansion.1 Its growth rate at nearly 6 per cent is the highest on the continent, albeit boosted by fiscal largesse.2 In Bucharest more politicians have been put in jail for corruption over the past decade than have been convicted in the rest of Eastern Europe put together. Romania causes Brussels and Berlin almost none of the headaches inflicted by the Visegrád Group—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia— which in 1993 declined to accept Romania as a peer and collectively entered the European Union three years before it. Romanians con- sistently rank among the most Europhile people in the Union.3 An anti-eu party has never appeared on a Romanian ballot, much less in the parliament. Scattered political appeals to unsavoury interwar traditions—Legionnairism, Greater Romanianism—attract fewer voters than do far-right movements across most of Western Europe. The two million Magyars of Transylvania, one of Europe’s largest minorities, have become a model for inter-ethnic relations after a time when the park benches of Cluj were gilded in the Romanian tricolore to remind every- one where they were. Indeed, perhaps the aptest symbol of Romania’s place in Europe today is the man who sits in the Presidential Palace of Cotroceni in Bucharest. Klaus Iohannis—a former physics teacher at a high school in Sibiu, once Hermannstadt—is an ethnic German head- ing a state that, a generation ago, was shipping hundreds of thousands of its ‘Saxons’ ‘back’ to Bonn at 4,000–10,000 Deutschmarks a head.

In this paper, we will present the most important moments of the evolution and development of the mathematical education and research activities in Romanian at Babe¸s-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca. The main figures of the mathematical university staff are also presented. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 01A72, 01A73, 01A70. Keywords: University of Cluj, Babe¸s-Bolyai University, Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of Mathematics. 1. A short walk through the history of the university education in Cluj On May 12, 1581 the prince S¸tefan Bathory decided to set up at Cluj a college with three faculties: Theology, Philosophy and Law. This is the first official attestation of a higher education institution in our city. After some climbings and descents and a contradictory evolution of the higher education in Cluj, on October 12, 1872 the emperor Ferenc J´ozsef approves a decision of the Hungarian Parliament for setting up the University of Cluj. This Hungarian university have had four faculties: Law and State Sciences, Medicine, Philosophy, Letters and History and, the last one, Mathematics and Natural Sciences. During this period some pre-eminent mathematicians (such as Gyula Farkas, Lip´otFej´er,Frigyes Riesz or Alfr´ed Haar) have had essential contributions to the development of the Cluj mathematical school. The great wish of the Romanian nation to have their own university with com- plete studies in Romanian was finally accomplish after the union of the province of Transylvania with the Romanian principality in 1918.

The leader of the Transylvanian social- democrats, Ion Flueras, was inthat delegation, together with Gheorghe Cristescu, Alexandru Dobrogeanu-Gherea, Eugen Rozvan, Constantin Popovici, David Fabian. The travel to Moscow, full of adventure, was briefly described by Flueras in some notes. The members of the delegation endured some tough critics because of the national position that the socialist movement in Romania, especially that in Transylvania and Bucovina adopted before the Unification. The affiliation to Comintern was accepted with no condition by all members of the delegation but Flueras. In that terms, Flueras was excluded from the delegation and was forced to leave the Soviet Russia. Ion Flueras was the only member of the Romanian socialist delegation that left for Moscow, who expressed a firm and determined attitude for defending the European social-democratic principles and for the Unification on the 1st of December 1918.

  • Nicolae Ionescu Şi Contemporanii Săi
    NICOLAE IONESCU ŞI CONTEMPORANII SĂI Nicolae Ionescu (1820-1905) este cunoscut în istoriografie secvenţial şi incomplet, numele său fiind asociat exclusiv statutului de lider al Fracţiunii Libere şi Independente. Reconstituirea firului cronologic al vieţii lui nu este un demers facil, ba mai mult există încă numeroase secvenţe cronologice ce nu pot fi redate decât parţial, în lipsa unor surse care să ofere informaţiile necesare. Nicolae Ionescu apare în postura veşnicului nemulţumit, a insului ce nu poate fi un om al timpurilor sale. La 1857, muntenii cereau un principe străin, el dorea unul pământean. Era adeptul unei politici de neutralitate şi ar fi dorit ca Principatele Române să fie precum „Belgia şi Svizzera”. Profund admirator al modelului englez, părea prea puţin impresionat de modelul francez, deşi a petrecut ani buni la Paris. Singurele descrieri despre primii ani din viaţa lui Nicolae Ionescu aparţin fratelui său, Ion Ionescu de la Brad1, dar acestea se mărginesc la a nara evenimente din copilărie ce nu pot oferi informaţii asupra raporturilor existente între cei doi fraţi. De altfel, informaţiile despre copilăria şi primii ani de şcoală ai lui Nicolae Ionescu sunt limitate. A.D. Xenopol îl identifică pe Nicolae Ionescu ca fiind elev, şi ulterior absolvent, al Academiei Mihăilene fără a oferi informaţii suplimentare asupra modului în care acesta a relaţionat cu colegii sau profesorii săi2. După absolvirea cursurilor Academiei Mihăilene, Nicolae Ionescu pleacă la Paris pentru a studia Dreptul. Despre perioada petrecută acolo se ştiu foarte puţine, dar cert este că acesta nu a reuşit să obţină o diplomă care să-i certifice studiile urmate3.
