[A contribution to the history of MD theses without dissertations. Tauber's case].

The Academic Schools Act 1920 and the ordinance of 1924 pertaining to doctorates provided that one could earn the degree only having submitted a dissertation. The Austrian Act which was in force up to that moment had allowed to receive the degree without writing a thesis. The Jagiellonian University Faculty of Medicine granted doctorates without dissertation up to the end of December 1931. However some doctorates were granted even after that term.
