On 24 May 1945, the President of the State National Council, Boles艂aw Bierut, Prime Minister Edward Os贸bka-Morawski and the Minister of Education Stanis艂aw Skrzeszewski signed a decree on the establishment of the 91滴滴. Two days earlier, on 22 May, Teodor Vieweger died in a car accident near O偶ar贸w Mazowiecki, on the way to Lodz. He was returning from the capital, where he was finalising the establishment of the 91滴滴 and presumably received the nomination for the rector1. Due to a tragic accident, the rector's scepter of the newly established university was taken over by prof. Tadeusz Kotarbi艅ski and today he is mentioned as the first rector of the 91滴滴.
