Vasile Goldiș
Vasile Goldiș (12 November 1862 – 10 February 1934) was a Romanian politician, social theorist, and member of the Romanian Academy.
He was born on 12 November 1862 in his grandfather's (Teodor Goldiș) house in the village of Mocirla. His parents were Isaia and Floarea Goldiș. The family of his father had its origins in the Chișcău village, Bihor County. Around 1740 Teodor Goldiș moved with his family to Mocirla where Vasile Goldiș was born.
The first years of his life were spent in the villages of Mocirla, Seleuș, and Cermei in the house of his parents and grandparents. He started primary school in the village of Cermei in 1869 where he studied the first two grades in Romanian with his teacher Nicolae Albu. He studied the third grade at the general school in Padanul Nou (now Horea, Arad County). Between 1873 and 1881, he was a student of the Theoretical High School in Arad, being especially interested in history, literature, and philosophy.
On 1 September 1881, he joined the classes of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy in Arad as a scholar of the Eastern Orthodox Church. In 1881–1882 and 1884–1885 he was a student of the University of Budapest and between 1882 and 1884 he studied at the University of Vienna, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree. During his student years, he became a member of the Petru Maior and Romania Jună societies.
After graduating, he became a professor at the Eötvös High School in Budapest on 1 September 1885. One year later he quit this job for patriotic reasons[clarification needed] and moved to Caransebeș, where he taught history and Latin at the Pedagogic-Theological Institute.
Being eager to affirm himself in the struggle of the intellectual Romanians for more political rights in Austria-Hungary, on 5 March 1888 he sent a letter to George Barițiu, asking for a teacher job in Sibiu. A year later, on 1 September 1889, he was appointed professor in Brașov, where he remained until 1901. He wrote many books on Latin, History, and Constitutional Law for his students. In 1890 he became a member and then secretary of the Romanian House in Brașov.
In 1893 he became a member of the Romanian National Party and a collaborator in the Tribuna newspaper in Sibiu. Between 1895 and 1901 he acted as secretary at the Society for the Creation of the Romanian Theater which sponsored young Romanian actors from Transylvania.
Since 1905 Vasile Goldiș devoted himself to political activity. On 10 January 1905 at the Romanian National Party (RNP) convention he demanded that passive resistance towards the governments in Budapest and Vienna be put aside and asked for a new active and dynamic tactic in the struggle for more political rights of the Romanians in Austria-Hungary.
