Universitatea Politehnica din Bucureti este o opernemuritoare a generaiilor de profesori i discipoli care,prin eforturi susinute i cu mare dragoste de neam, i-au scrisistoria. Este o istorie care continu s fie scris n fiecare zi icare reprezint parte din istoria Romniei i a intelectualitiiromneti.

Istoria modern a romnilor i a statului romn se leagde eforturile intelectualilor de adaptare i sincronizare cucivilizaia occidental. Valoarile autentice comune, tiinai tehnologia, aductoare de cunoatere i bunstare, i-audeterminat pe intelectualii romni, iubitori de neam i ar,s conving autoritile timpului s aprobe nfiinarea unorinstituii de nvmnt moderne, care s corespund uneinevoi de fond a societii acelor vremuri: nevoia de a construi.

Aa se face c, ntre anii 1816-1917, un intelectual colit laSibiu, Cluj i la coala de ingineri de la Viena, ntemeiat n1797, Gheorghe Lazr, a struit pe lang boierii efori ai coliipentru crearea, la Bucureti, a unei coli superioare n limbaromn.

Dup ce s-au convins c este un tnr instruit, boierii i-autrimis domnitorului Ioan Gheorghe Caragea o anafor,prin care solicitau nfiinarea unei coli domneti, unde "unprofesor s fie nsrcinat cu exercitarea ucenicilor la msurareapmntului".

La 24 martie 1818, prin opis domnesc, s-a aprobat anaforaboierilor efori ai colii i "s-a poruncit evacuarea chiriailor irepararea odilor necesare colii", la Mnstirea Sfntul Sava.

n august 1818, Gheorghe Lazr este "nvrednicit" s deschidcursurile de inginerie la coala de la Sfntul Sava. GheorgheLazr adreseaz o "ntiinare" ctre "de toat cinstea vrednic

tinerime", cu urmtoarea chemare: "venii toi din toate prile ide toat starea".

Istoria dezvoltrii economiei i societii romneti o putem citin evoluia colii de la topografi i geodezi, la constructorii dedrumuri, poduri i ci ferate, la inginerii pentru diferitele domeniiindustriale, care ncep s apar i s creasc n PrincipateleRomne i n Romnia.

i astzi, ca i n trecut, trim momente n care trebuie scontinum la alte cote i standarde, s ne sincronizminstituional i tehnologic cu lumea, ntr-o permanent i

exploziv schimbare tehnologic, lume n care niciun domeniunu mai poate fi conceput fr accesul la naltele tehnologii.

coala fr profesorii i studenii ei nu ar fi evoluat ladimensiunile de astzi.Studenii Politehnicii au fost i rmn cei mai buni ambasadoriai scolii, prin performanele lor profesionale i prin modul ncare se raporteaz la valorile colii.Profesorii universitari au fost i rmn n primele rnduri aleintelectualitii unei naiuni. Fiecare generaie de profesoria traversat cu eforturi susinute perioade de formare, delegitimare prin competiii i rezultate i s-a constituit dreptmodel pentru generaia tnr. Fiecare generaiei de profesoria avut n rndurile ei adevrai magistrai i mentori pentrucei tineri. Viaa celor mai muli dintre dasclii universitii s-asuprapus cu viaa amfiteatrelor noastre.

ansa prezentului i viitorului universitii noastre stn valoarea corpului profesoral i a studenilor, care namfiteatre i n afara lor sunt modele de profesionalism, de

cinste, de imparialitate, de disponibilitate, de onestitate, carei asum cultul muncii i aspiraiile unor rafinate construciitiinifice i valori universale. Pe asemenea valori s-a nlat i seva nla Romnia!

The University Politehnica of Bucharest is an everlasting masterpiece,signed by generations of professors and disciples, who wrote itshistory through consistent efforts, while driven by a great love for theircountry. Its history is being written everyday and it is part of the history ofRomania and its intellectualism.

The modern history of Romanians and of the Romanian nation hasmuch to do with the efforts made by intellectuals in adapting to andaligning with the Western civilization. The mutual authentic values, thescience and the technology, which are generators of knowledge, havedetermined the Romanian intellectuals, which were dedicated to theircountry and its people, to persuade authorities throughout time to foundmodern educational institutions that would respond to one primary needof the society back then: the need to build things.

That is why between 1816 and 1817 Gheorghe Lazr, an intellectualwho had attended schools in Sibiu and Cluj as well as the EngineeringSchool in Wien built in 1797, made efforts in persuading the boyars, whowere also high educational advisers, to build in Bucharest a higher school

with classes in Romanian.

First, they checked that the young man who came up with theproposition was indeed highly educated, then sent the ruler of thattime arequest through which they asked for a noble school to be found,where a teacher should be assigned with instructing apprentices on howto measure the land.

On March the 24th 1818, a noble decree would approve the requestof the boyars, summoning the tenants of the St. Sava Monastery toevict the building so that repairs should be made in preparation for thenew school.

In august 1818, Gheorghe Lazr is designated to start the engineeringclasses at St. Savas School. As a matter of fact, Gheorghe Lazraddresses an Announcement to all honorable young men inviting them

as follows: do join wherever you come from, no matter your grounds.

One can read the history of the economic growth and of the Romaniansociety while studying the evolution of this school: starting withagronomic and geodesic engineers, continuing with builders of roads,bridges, and railways, and ending with engineers specialised in variousindustrial fields growing in the Romanian Principalities and in Romania ingeneral.

Just like in the past, we are now living times in which we need to adaptand keep up with new standards and expectations, to align withinstitutions and technologies used around the world as we undergo apermanent and explosive technological change. In todays world, no fieldcan progress without access to high technologies.

Without its professors and students, school could not have evolvedthe way it has.D

ue to their professional accomplishments and the way they reflectthe values of this school, the students of the University Politehnica

of Bucharest have always been the best ambassadors of the Romanianschool in general.

The university professors are and always have beenin the first lineof intellectuals of every nation. Each generation of professors madeconsistent efforts in getting trained, acquiring competencies, gettingaccomplished, and becoming a role model for the younger generation.Each wave of teachers has had its series of true masters and mentorsfor the young. Most of ours professors spent their entire life in the lecturetheatres.

Both the present and the future of our university has its chance in thevalue of our professors and students they are reference pointsfor ethics, honour, impartiality, dedication, honesty they embody insidethe lecture theatres as well as outside them. They are engaged in theirpassion for work and aspiration to build excuisite scientific works and tocreate universal values. Such values have always laid at the foundationsof Romania and they always will!

The Russo-Turkish Convention in1849 established Barbu Dimitrietirbei as ruler of ara Romneasc.He was very familiar with theshortage of teachers in the country,and so he brought French engineerLouis Chrtien Lalanne to improvethe state of affairs.

Lalannes school of engineers, i.e.The School for Bridges, Roads,and Mines, which had two classes The Class for Bridges and Roadsand The Class for Mines, lasted for5 years (starting with a preparatoryyear, then three years of common

classes, and the final year ofspecialization courses) educatedthe engineers who tracked downthe Ploieti-Predal road, slightlynorth of Comarnic, and the difficultbridges on this challenging intinerary.It was also during that time that theprojects for building the Danubianports, for protecting Dmboviaagainst the floods, and for theembellishment of Bucharest started.It was Lalanne who insisted on the

adoption of the metrical system.

nfiinat "Laboratorul de Chimie al colii de Podurii osele", primul laborator tehnologic din Romnia,care avea i o secie de ncercri de materiale. nacest laborator se efectuau lucrri cu studenii, dar i

ncercri de materiale utilizate n construcii de mareimportan de ctre fratele su, Anghel Saligny: PodulCarol I i viaductele peste Dunre de la Cernavod(1890-1895), sau docurile din portul Constana. n1920 acest laborator s-a transformat n "Institutpentru ncercri de materiale i analize industriale".

Shortly after the opening of the school in GriviaAvenue, the chemistry professor Alfons Salignyfounded the "Chemistry Lab of the School for Bridges

and Roads", which was in fact the first technologicallaboratory in Romania and had a dedicated area formaterial testing. Students would often work in thislab and, at the same time, his brother, Anghel Saligny,would test various materials used in importantconstruction works: Carol I Bridge, the Cernavodaqueducts over the Danube (1890-1895), or the docksin Constana Harbour. In 1920, this lab became the"Institute for Material Testing and Industrial Analysis."

Anghel I. Saligny (1854-1925) a fost unremarcabil inginer, premergtor mondialal tiinei construciilor metalice i de betonarmat, realizator de multiple invenii i soluiiunice n proiectarea i construirea podurilor

i a construciilor industriale, pentru fundaiacheiurilor portuare i a docurilor, precum i asilozurilor de gru prin folosirea prefabricatelorde beton, toate n premier mondial.

Lucrarea sa cea mai important esteproiectarea n 1888 i construcia ntre1890-1895 a podului peste Dunre de laCernavod, care era, la acea vreme, cel mailung din Europa i printre cele mai importantepoduri metalice cu deschidere mare din lume.Proiectul elaborat de Saligny aducea dou mariinovaii n construcia de poduri: sistemul noude grinzi cu console pentru suprastructurapodului i folosirea oelului moale ca material deconstrucie pentru tabliere de poduri. Soluiileinovatoare ale profesorului Anghel Saligny austat i la baza impuntoarei construcii TurnulEiffel. Cu nsuiri numeroase i alese, care rarse mbin n acelai om, a fost ales membru alAcademiei Romne i Preedinte al acesteia.

Anghel I. Saligny (1854-1925) was a remarkableengineer, a worldwide forerunner in the fieldof metallic and reinforced concrete constructions,an inventor of various unique solutions in thedesign and building of bridges and industrial

constructions, the foundation of harbour docksas well as of wheat silages built from precastconcrete at that time, all these were worldpremieres.

His most important work was the CernavodBridge over the Danube, which he designedin 1888 and had built between 1890 and 1895.At that time, this was the longest bridge inEurope and one of the most important metallicbridges overlooking the sea. The project designedby Saligny brought two innovations in bridgebuilding: the new system of beam consoles for theoverbridge structure and the use of soft steel asconstruction material for bridge decks. ProfessorAnghel Salignys innovative solutions were alsoused in the foundations of the majestic Eiffel Tour.Blessed with numerous excellent human qualitiesthat are rarely found in the same individual,Professor Saligny was appointed member andultimately elected President of the Royal Academy.

Spiru Haret was a university professor for 29years; he taught trigonometry, descriptive,analytic, plain, and spatial geometry at the School

for Bridges and Roads.Spiru Haret was Minister of Cults and PublicInfrastructure and is generally known as thegreat reformer of the Romanian educationalsystem.

"The things that are taught in school, regardlessof how they are done, remain but simplewords. The traces they leave behind, in the spiritand the heart of children, are fleeting, if theschool does not produce tangible examples ofthe things it teaches. The teachers conduct, the

school rules have a great influence on the ethicsof children. One cannot build great things withlittle means..."

Costin D. Neniescu, also known as "The Master"among students and collaborators, was thefounder of the Organic Chemistry Departmentof the University Politehnica of Bucharest. Eventhough before he joined the former King Carol IIPolytechnic School (1935), the institution alreadyhad an Organic Chemistry Department, its resultswere hardly known abroad. It only gained popularitywhen Neniescu joined the Department as a fullprofessor.

The discoveries made in the field of aluminumchloride catalyzed reactions and the researchescarried out in the analysis of oil and gas types inRomania bear the signature of the great professorand researcher.

The department was visited by numerous foreignresearchers, such as R. Criegee, G. Witting, S.Winstein, etc. who had the opportunity of seeingthe scientific accomplishments of the department

with their own eyes.Even today, 35 years after his passing, theprofessors who had the chance to meet himcan still feel his presence down the university halls,in the labs and the lecture theatre that carries hisname. The younger teachers, those who did notmeet him, as well as everybody else study hislegacy every day, making efforts to keep up with thefounder of the department they are now part of.
