In he was awarded a doctorate in philosophy. In July , at the age of 26, he habilitated at the University of Lviv and taught there until As a supposed Austrian, he was interned in Vyatka renamed Kirov in Moscow mathematician friends managed to bring him to the Russian capital in , where he remained until the end of the war. During this time he collaborated with the Russian mathematician Nikolai Nikolaevich Luzin.

In , he returned to Poland via Finland and Sweden, where he taught first in Lviv and then at Warsaw University, and remained until the end of his life. He founded the important journal Fundamenta Mathematicae together with other representatives of the so-called Warsaw School of Mathematics. In the interwar period he led a busy scientific life and worked a lot on set theory.

He published eight new books, two pamphlets, and seven textbooks. He represented his country at mathematical congresses. In set theory he made contributions on the axiom of choice and on the continuum hypothesis. Wachtel, Waddy.

However, in the following year there was a strike to produce a boycott of Russian Schools in Poland and I did not want to have my first work printed in the Russian language and that is why I had it withdrawn from print in Warsaw's 'Izvestia'.

That is why it was not printed until in the mathematical magazine 'The works of Mathematics and Physics' published by Samuel Dickstein. Each of the students made it a point of honour to have the worst results in that subject. I did not answer a single question I passed all my examinations, then the lector suggested I should take a repeat examination, otherwise I would not be able to obtain the degree of a candidate for mathematical science.

I refused him saying that this would be the first case at our University that someone having excellent marks in all subjects, having the dissertation accepted and a gold medal, would not obtain the degree of a candidate for mathematical science, but a lower degree, the degree of a 'real student' strangely that was what the lower degree was called because of one lower mark in the Russian language.
