- Abstract
The article reflects on involvement of the Latvian academic elite in the establishment and development of the University of Latvia between the two world wars. Historical sources show a close connection between the features of the establishment and development of the university and the common history of the country at various stages of its development in the interwar period. The aspects such as the role of higher education in the ideology of the new state, interethnic relations, economic and financial aspects, including their wages and working conditions, and the involvement of academics in political activities during both the parliamentary and authoritarian stages are discussed in greater detail. All these aspects reflect the corresponding trends in the country. The role of individual personalities is especially highlighted, since the teaching staff' of the university is considered to be the leader of opinion during the formation of the Latvian state and the period of authoritarianism.
