Title: Kazimierz Kuratowski (1896–1980) His Life and Work in Topology
Abstract: Kazimierz Kuratowski was born in Warsaw on February 2, 1896, in the family of an eminent lawyer. His father, caring for patriotic education of his children, sent him to a Polish school, although — in then Russian Warsaw — graduation from such a school did not grant any privileges. In 1913 the young Kuratowski went to Moscow to pass official, Russian, graduation; having finished a Polish school, he had very little chance to pass such a graduation in Warsaw. Since after the 1905 school strike Polish youths boycotted the Russian university in Warsaw, Kuratowski went abroad to study. He passed the school year 1913–14 at the university in Glasgow, studying engineering.
