Mówiąc o „ogrodzie pamięci” w kontekście ogrodu botanicznego, możemy rozpatrywać go nie tylko zgodnie z przyjętymi definicjami pojęcia „pamięć”, ale również jako miejsce upamiętnienia ważnych osób i zdarzeń oraz jako o instytucji, dla której wyjątkowo ważnym zadaniem jest zachowanie bogactwa genetycznego – bioróżnorodności. Ogrody botaniczne zawsze były miejscami szczególnymi, w których badano świat roślin, poznawano ich właściwości, bogactwo form i struktur. Jako ogrody o charakterze kolekcjonerskim stawały się często odwzorowaniem natury odległych krain (nierzadko niedostępnych, znajdujących się poza zasięgiem większości społeczeństwa). Wystarczyło przekroczyć ich bramę, by dzięki wyobraźni przenieść się w odległe miejsca. Trwałość kompozycji niektórych fragmentów (działów) ogrodów dodatkowo przywołuje tradycję uprawy roślin. Utrzymane w konwencji ogrodu kwaterowego nawiązują do okresu, gdy ogrody botaniczne (czasem nawet jeszcze tak nienazywane) były przede wszystkim miejscem badania właściwości leczniczych roślin (herbularius, giardino dei semplici, orto botanico). Uniwersytecki Ogród Botaniczny w Warszawie jest przykładem ogrodu o ciekawej historii związanej z dziejami królewskich Łazienek i Polski. Fragmenty ledwie rozpoczętej i nigdy nieukończonej budowy Świątyni Opatrzności Bożej nie tylko przypominają o okolicznościach, w których zapadła decyzja o jej fundacji, ale może nawet silniej o okolicznościach, jakie zaważyły o zaprzestaniu jej realizacji. Obecnie zmieniają się zadania ogrodów botanicznych. Są to już nie tylko miejsca prowadzenia badań i przekazywania wiedzy o roślinach leczniczych, rozpowszechniania egzotycznych gatunków roślin (zwłaszcza o znaczeniu gospodarczym), ale stanowią miejsce rekreacji oraz przede wszystkim są instytucją dbającą o ochronę zagrożonych gatunków roślin – zachowanie bioróżnorodności.

In the contex of botanic garden, the garden of remembrance does not have to be considered in accordance with accepted definitions of the notion referred to as “memory” which describes place’s predispositions to remind people of their impressions and experience. It can be treated as a place commemorating important persons and historical events as well as an institution whose particularly important purpose is to preserve genetic diversity – biodiversity. Botanic gardens have always been special places where one could study the world of flora, learn about its characteristics and variety of forms and structures. As collectors’ gardens they frequently reproduced nature of distant lands (often inaccessible, situated beyond the reach of society). Crossing the gate was enough to be moved to faraway places. Moreover, permanence of arrangement regarding certain fragments (sections) of the gardens evokes the old tradition of plants cultivation. Italian-style gardens allude to the period when botanic gardens (sometimes not even called this way) were most of all places of studying curative properties of plants (herbularius, giardino dei semplici, orto botanico). Warsaw University Botanic Garden is an example of a garden with interesting past connected with the history of Łazienki Królewskie (Royal Baths) and Poland. Fragments of only started but never finished Temple of Divine Providence (Świątynia Opatrzności Bożej) not only remind of the circumstances accompanying the decision to found it but, even stronger, of the events which influenced its ceasing. In present times the tasks of botanic gardens have been changing. Not only are they areas of carrying out research and transmitting knowledge about medicinal plants and popularizing exotic plant species (especially economically important ones). They are places of recreation but first and foremost they care about protection of endangered plant species – preserving biodiversity.

Taking control over education by a newly originating Polish administration on the territories occupied by German and Austrian forces placed the officials of the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment in a difficult position resulting from the problem of stabilizing the staff lecturing in the two founded during war capital academies: the Warsaw University and the Warsaw Institute of Technology. One had to find such form of solving the problem, which would have let reconcile administration's anxiety to control and achieve supremacy over academies cultivating the tradition of academic liberties. A newly established special board, which gathered representatives of academic circle and the invited by the minister persons actively engaged in educational work, having the social respect, seemeed to be a solution giving a strong probability of satisfaction of both of sides. A key matter was a choice of the likely candidates for the members of the board. The Ministry chose the mature scholars that were descended from classes of society of a stabile, but not of a very high position (gentry, intelligentsia, officials). The board, in spite of its conservative origin, on the occasion of choosing the candidates for the Warsaw departments, in most of the cases pronounced for the younger colleagues both as far as age and scientific practice are concerned.

Ever since its establishment in 1816, the University of Warsaw became an instrument of political control in the hands of the Russian authorities, in charge of this part of partitioned Poland (Kingdom of Poland) at that time. Depending on the political situation - in Europe, in Russia or in the lands of partitioned Poland - a number of ideas were developed and/or put into effect concerning the university. The ideas involved such moves as changing the internal structure of the university, or breaking it up into smaller units and transferring them to the provinces, or transferring the whole university into the Russian Empire, or even disbanding the university altogether. The idea that envisioned reorganizing the university along the French model, i.e. establishing several specialized schools, located outside Warsaw, was considered three times. The first time the idea came to the fore was at the beginning of the 1820s, when a wave of anti-university sentiment spread across Europe. At the time, the University of Warsaw saw its autonomy greatly reduced, as happened in the case of all universities in Russia. The idea was entertained again after the fall of the November Rising of 1830-1831, but Tsar Nicholas I finally decided to close the University. The third time the idea surfaced was at the beginning of the 1860s, when plans were considered to set up a number of specialized tertiary schools in the Kingdom of Poland. It was, however, the determined stance of Aleksander Wielopolski (commissioner for education and later head of civil administration of this part of Russian-held Polish lands), who was adamant that a unitary tertiary school be established, even at the price of changing the name from ’’University o f Warsaw” to that of "Main School”, that ultimately prevailed. After the fall of the January Rising (1863-1864) and the authorities’ decision to convert the Main School into a Russian-language university, which functioned under the name of Imperial University for 46 year, there were two times when the question of moving the university into Russia was considered. During the 1905-1907 revolution, such a proposal was made by some of the professors, in the face of a boycott of the university by Polish students. Talks on that subject were conducted by a special committee, headed by Professor Vladimir Amalitskiy, with a number of Russian cities, including Voronezh and Saratov. They bore fruit in 1909, when the University of Saratov was formed, but that university was independent of the Warsaw University. The Russian government finally decided to keep a university in Warsaw, but as a result of the boycott, the university was Russian not only in the sense of the language used, but also of the nationality of its professors and students. The second time the question of moving the University of Warsaw to Russia emerged was during the First World War, when the military and political situation forced the Russian authorities to evacuate. Beginning from the autumn of 1915, there were two Universities of Warsaw: one Polish, in Warsaw, and another Russian, in Rostov on the Don. The latter, with largely the same professors and partly also the same students as it had in Warsaw, functioned under the name of Warsaw University until 1917. On 5 May 1917, when there was no longer any likelihood of Warsaw being recaptured, the Russian Provisional Government decided to close the University of Warsaw. The decision took effect on 1 July 1917; on the same day, the University of the Don, now called University of Rostov, was inaugurated. The ’’Rostov period” in the history of Warsaw University has become the subject-matter of research by Russian scholars, and the results of that research are presented in the current article.

The Chair of Cartography was founded in November, 1950 whole the Institute of Geography was initiated within the structure of the Warsaw University. Also, two other Chairs were formed within the Institute: Physical Geography and Economic Geography. The first Head of the Chair of Cartography was Professor Stanisław Pietkiewicz (1894-1986), a very thoroughly educated physical geographer with broad interests in various fiels of the subject. He studied geomorphology and hydrology and also was a very good surveyor employed at the Military Geographic Institute (WIG) before the World War II. At that time, the employes of the Chair of Cartography offered courses on Cartography and Topography for all Freshemen (ca. 60 students), as well as for those specializing in Cartography (10-15 students). The M.Sc. these' topics fell mainly in the two following categories: preparation of the general reference wall maps of the selected regions of Poland, and also historical monographies of early Polish maps. Seven 1:250,000-scale wall maps of Polish regions have been prepared and put out. Each portrayed the land-surface forms with layer tinting, and also contained selected economic data. The maps were printed in the years 1960-1965. Professor Lech Ratajski (1921-1977) became Head of the Chair of Cartography in 1966. He initiated a new didactic field in the Chair's activity: preparation of the socio-economic maps, and later also the comprehensive wall maps (G. Bonatowski, B. Horodyski 1984). In addition to that, analyses on mapping methods and on the theory of cartography were initiated. It was the theoretical cartography that soon bacame the main field of Professoe's professional activity. His most well-known work pertain to cartology, understood as the system of theoretical cartography, and also as the theoretical base for practical cartographic activity (L. Ratajski 1973). His research activity resulted in the appointment of Lech Ratajski Chair of the 5th ICA commission (Commision on Cartographic Communication). His research on cartographic signs standardization shoul also be noted. The first volume of the periodical of the Department of Geography and Regional Studies (Wydział Geografii i Suidiów Regionalnych ) Prace i Studia Geograficzne (Studies in Geography) entitled Theory of Cartography makes a very good illustration of the activities of the Chair of cartography at that time. After Professor Lech Ratajski had passed away in 1977, his close colleague - Professor Bogodar Winid (1922-1996) became Head, replaced by Professor Wiktor Grygorenko in Fall, 1980. Professor Grygorenko is a specialist in the field of the mathematical cartography. He also authored a vast textbook on topographic map elaboration. During his office, he conducted research on the structural concept of cartographic representations, aiming at the advancement in automated map drawing and interpretation. The employees of the Chair of cartography actively participated in the organization of the 11th ICA Conference held in Warszawa in 1982. At that conference prof. Grygorenko presented an intrested paper entitled: A Cybernetic Model of Cartographic Communication (Grygorenko 1982), which was later frequently cited in cartographic literature. During the 1980s, the graduate studies on Cartography were extended to three years, as they follow the 2-year under-graduate studies on Geography. The main goal is to educate the future professional editors of both general-reference and thematic maps. Among the M.Sc. topics the increasing share of tourist- and citymaps is easily noticeable. Also, computer hardware and cartographic software is more and more often used. Presently (January 1st, 2000) 12 people are employed at the Chair of Cartography. Since 1997 Professor Jacek Pasławski is Head of the Chair. The employess offer courses for all Geography student on introductory level (basic cartography and topography) for iver 200 participants. The next stage consist of courses offered to students specializing in various fields of geography e.g. Thematic Cartography for the students specializing in Regional and econimic geography. The graduate program in Cartography starts at the Junior year. Ther main goal of the program is to prepare students to the professional activity as map editors. Student have access to the Computer and Cartographic Reproduction Labs. For example, Maps prepared by students during the course of Map Editing are then prepared in the form that can be printed using the offset printer. Overall, all courses taking 1200 hours are offered to 20-25 graduate students during the three year period. So far, there are 316 alumni, and 13 persons received their Ph.D degree. The research activities include various topics. The main field of interest include: history of cartography, electronic atlas structure, forms of cartographic presentation (classification and properties), analyses of computer technologies and last but hardly least, journalistic cartography.
