(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Virgil Iuliu Bărbat was a Romanian sociologist. Born in Rasa, Călărași County, he graduated from Brăila's Nicolae Bălcescu High School in 1897, followed by the social sciences faculty of the University of Geneva, where he received his degree in 1905. Subsequently, he took courses on sociology, ethics and economics at Heidelberg and Leipzig. In 1909, he defended his thesis, in philosophy, at the University of Bern. Titled Nietzsche – tendances et problèmes, this was published at Zürich in 1911. After taking his doctorate, he remained abroad, embarking on a number of study trips. His destinations included Vienna, France, Germany, England and the United States; his purpose was to study university education, social organization and cultural propaganda, and adapt these to conditions in his native country. In the early 1910s, he wrote frequently, and his contributions were largely found in the pages of Constantin Rădulescu-Motru's Noua Revistă Română. He returned to Romania in 1914, and was named English teacher at Mihai Viteazul and Spiru Haret high schools in the national capital Bucharest. In 1920, following the union of Transylvania with Romania and the revamping of Cluj University, he was named professor in its department of sociology and ethics. While there, he was able to apply the theories he had developed in his studies abroad. He was assistant professor during 1921-1922, then working as full professor until his premature death.
