The Poznań Society of Friends of Learning met for the first time in 1857. The presidents of the organization were the following organic work heroes: August Cieszkowski, Tytus Działyński, Karol Libelt, Stanisław Końmian and archbishop Edward Likowski. The Society's great benefactor was Seweryn Mielżyński, who donated his valuable art, archaeological and numismatic collections to it. The first members of the Society were concerned with the protection and development of endangered national culture and science in the Prussian partition, where it was impossible to establish and operate a Polish university. Initially mainly a humanistic and artistic association, it began to expand its scientific fields. After gaining independence, the Society's activity led to the establishment of a university in Poznań.
