Sažetak
Fran Barac (1872-1940) was priest, theologian and politician. Barac was professor at the Faculty of Theology (from 1910 to 1938), dean of the Faculty of Theology (1913/1914 and 1922/1923) and head of the University of Zagreb (1915/1916). He was involved in the cultural and educational work. In the ecclesiastical life of Croatia Barac was an important factor, because he was involved in the work of Croatian Divinity Academy (Hrvatska Bogoslovska Akademija), and the archdiocesan seminary, and played an important role in the development of Catholic press in Croatia. Barac was a Pope’s chamberlain, canon and monsignor. His political activity is very important. During the war from 1914 to 1918, he was a partisan of the party Starčevićeva Stranka prava (Starčević Party of Right). Fran Barac also maintained relations with political organizations Jugoslavenski Odbor (Yugoslav Committee) and Srpski presbiro (Serbian Press-Bureau). Also, he was a member of the Hrvatska Zajednica (Croatian Union) and member of the parliament of the Kraljevstvo Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca (Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes). From 1925 to 1929, Barac was a member of the party Hrvatska federalistička seljačka stranka (Croatian Federal Peasant Party). He fought for the equality of Croatian national interests and the democratization of political life. A large number of newspapers and journals published necrologies on the occasion of Barac’s death. His life and work has been described relatively in detail. Several necrologies were of great importance, because they tell us about unknown facts of Barac’s work.
