History
The University of Silesia in Katowice has its origins in the Institute of Education in Katowice (Instytut Pedagogiczny w Katowicach), which was founded in 1928; at that time it was the only institution of higher education in the part of Silesia belonging to Poland. In 1950 Higher School of Education in Katowice(Wyższa Szkoła Pedagogiczna w Katowicach) was established. Later, the school merged with a established in 1965 in Katowice branch of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. In 1968 on the base of these educational facilities, the University of Silesia in Katowice was established in its current form, as the ninth university in Poland.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
