The Collection of Reports Delivered at the Studio Day Dedicated to the Fortieth Anniversary of Ukrainian Statehood and the Heroic Rite of Kyiv Students near Kruty: Published by the Ukrainian Student Community in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, 1958, 57 p.

The Collection published by the Ukrainian Student Community in Philadelphia in 1958, with the participation of student organizations from Baltimore, New York, Newark, and Trenton, is dedicated to the fortieth anniversary of the restoration of Ukrainian statehood and to the heroic deed of the Kyiv students at Kruty. The publication emerged as a result of the intellectual and civic initiative of Ukrainian youth in emigration, aimed at preserving historical memory, honoring the participants of the liberation struggles of 1917–1921, and affirming the idea of statehood in conditions of dispersion. 

The Collection includes presentations by Ukrainian scholars, publicists, and émigré figures who explore issues of national identity, the spiritual foundations of state-building, the role of youth in the struggle for freedom, and the historical continuity of the Ukrainian liberation movement. The authors represent diverse intellectual approaches – from the philosophical interpretation of the nation's mission to the historical and political analysis of the events of the Ukrainian National Republic. All the works in the collection share a common aspiration to comprehend the Ukrainian statehood idea through the experience of emigration and the struggle for national self-assertion.
