The Department of Law and Social Sciences was the one most numerously attended by students of the SBU. At the end of the 20s, being the first and the only one, the Department exceeded one thousand students. Despite so many students, it did not have an adequate number of posts for professors (they were created by the state authorities). For example, the SBU in the 1931/1932 academic year had 15 chairs, including 8 for full professors and 7 for associate professors, with only 10 professors employed at that time, and 12 during next year. According to the University’s documents, in the interwar period the general number of associate and full professors at the Department of Law and Social Sciences came to 15, while the whole USB employed 141 persons at these posts. Majority of the Department’s professors were lawyers and economists, and all of them were male. Since their prevailing attitude towards scientific, didactic and organisational duties was serious, they spent a lot of time at the University. For example, it was common that the Department scheduled to give classes for half a week. Majority of the Department’s professors, while performing different functions both in the Department and the UBS, were behaving in a responsible and moderate manner, although during elections for the UBS posts also political issues mattered, so on such occasions disputes were particularly bitter. Generally speaking, prudence and solemnity were the traits especially valued among professors – both in their bearing and attire. And such was the majority of professors employed at the Department, also in their private life. Occasionally, though, persons leading quite extravagant life could be found among them.

Having been appointed to a professorship in Lvov, he also found himself in a full of vitality and extraordinary; scientific circle that was created by Hugo Steinhaus and Stefan Banach. After many years, even in the epilogue of his memories he wrote that this time was the most creative period in his life. He had not only appreciated the significance of discoveries, but also was alive to the mere style of circle's work that consisted in common discussions. Moreover, his character was very much adapted to friendly atmosphere and kindness that was extended to the young talents; Kuratowski himself was the one, who discovered such gifted person as Stanislaw Ulam. After liquidation of General Faculty of the Institute of Technology of Lvov in 1933, Kazimierz Kuratowski came back to Warsaw.
