Abstract:
The aim of the study is to examine aspects of talent management related to the transmission of cultural values. On the basis of the texts of speeches given at school ceremonies published in the school bulletins of the Reformed College of Debrecen, I am looking for the answer to the question which historical personalities, literary authors and artists were commemorated and through their work what traits and values were put in the centre of attention as a model for students to follow. The period under study: the 'building up and strengthening' of the institution's eight-grade grammar school system (1873–1914) and its 'heyday' (1914–1944) The Reformed College of Debrecen provided an excellent model and support for its students, not only in the transfer of knowledge but also in the complex development of personality, the valuable role of which helped many talented students to achieve success.

Keywords: gifted education, speeches at ceremonies, transfer of values, eight-grade high school, Reformed College of Debrecen
