Custodial history: The Ukrainian Secret University in Lviv is an illegal higher education institution that operated in Lviv from 1921 to 1925. It was founded by Ukrainian intellectuals in response to the Polish authorities' ban on Ukrainians' right to higher education. The university was founded on the initiative of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, the Petro Mohyla Ukrainian Scientific Lectures Society, and the Stavropigian Institute in Lviv, as a reaction to the actions of the Polish authorities. The latter was caused by a decision regarding the obligation of students of Lviv University and the Polytechnic to serve in the Polish army. In 1924-1925, there were 58 departments in the three departments of the university. There were 22 departments in the Faculty of Philosophy, 26 in the Faculty of Law, and 10 in the Faculty of Medicine. The duration of study at the Faculty of Philosophy and Law was 4 years, and at the Faculty of Medicine and Polytechnics was 2 years. After two years of study in Lviv, medical and polytechnic students had the opportunity to continue their studies at higher educational institutions in Prague, Vienna, and Gdansk. In 1921, the University Senate was created to manage the affairs of the institution, and its members included Vasyl Shchurat, Myron Korduba (Dean of the Faculty of History), Ivan Krypiakevych, Ivan Rakovsky, Volodymyr Verhanovsky (Dean of the Faculty of Law), M. Levytskyi, Roman Kovshevych, Ivan Kurovets (Dean of the Faculty of Medicine), and Maksym Muzyka.
