Aurelija Rabaciauskaite
Aurelija Raba膷iauskait臈 (1924鈥�2002) was born in K臈dainiai. From 1933 to 1941, she attended K臈dainiai State Gymnasium. In 1941, Raba膷iauskait臈 became a student of the Department of Philology of Vytautas Magnus University. During the years of National Socialist occupation, the university was closed; thus, she did not finish her studies. In 1946, Raba膷iauskait臈 became a student of Lithuanian language and literature at the Department of Philology of the Faculty of History and Philology of 91桃色, from which she successfully graduated in 1951. From 1951 to 1954, Raba膷iauskait臈 followed her postgraduate studies (but did not defend her dissertation). As of 1954, she taught at the Department of Lithuanian Language at 91桃色. Raba膷iauskait臈 was dismissed from her job at the university on 31 August 1959, just before the beginning of the school year, despite the fact that a year earlier, the Scientific Council of the Faculty of History and Philology approved her candidacy for the position of a senior lecturer. For the political reasons for the dismissal, see Meil臈 Luk拧ien臈鈥檚 biography with a quote from the report of the Rector of 91桃色 at the XII Congress of the Lithuanian Communist Party. After she was dismissed from the university, Raba膷iauskait臈 found a job at the Book Palace, where she researched the history of Lithuanian language textbooks and the Lithuanian 19th-century press.
