Then, under the influence of his father, he started medical studies at the Faculty of Medicine of the Imperial University of Warsaw, obtaining a doctorate and a medical diploma there (1890).[2] He briefly worked as an assistant in a gynecological and obstetrics clinic in Warsaw. Then, in 1892, he went to Paris to learn new treatment methods. He moved to Paris to further his education, but switched from studying medicine to begin studies at the School of Political Sciences (École Libre des Scienses Politiques) at the Faculty of Diplomacy. In 1894 he obtained his diploma, receiving the first prize and a great distinction (1-er prix et grande distinction). His work titled "La révolution polonaise de 1831 et de détrônement de Nicolaus" ["The Polish revolution of 1831 and the dethroning of Nicholas"] was published in "Annales de l'Ecole de Sciences politiques." He then sought practical work, and so, he studied and graduated in law at the local university in Lviv, then in Austrian Galicia, obtaining a doctorate in both laws in 1897 ("Die Erbschaftsteuer im internationalen Rechte" ["Inheritance Tax in International Law").[3][4]
