Драгољуб Јовановић и Београдски универзитет

Abstract

The paper is based on the archival documents, press, memoirs and literature. It considers the place of the University of Belgrade in the life and work of Dragoljub Jovanović. Jovanović was not a student of the University of Belgrade, but his life was closely related to this institution from an early age. On two occasions he was a professor at the Faculty of Law at the University of Belgrade in two different historical epochs: for the first time from 1923 to 1932, and for the second time, shortly in 1945/46. Both times, Jovanović’s work began with great expectations and hopes, but it was interrupted by expulsion and court judgments. Special attention in the paper was paid to the expulsion of the Dragoljub Jovanović from the Faculty of Law and the University of Belgrade in 1932 and 1946, as well as the role played by university authorities and university teaching staff in that expulsion.
