YAROSLAVL DEMIDOV CAMERAL LYCEUM IN THE MIDDLE OF XIX CENTURY

Abstract

Article is devoted to the history of Yaroslavl Demidov Lyceum in the middle of the XIX century, from the moment of his conversion from Yaroslavl Higher School. The author analyzes the Lyceum's Statute in 1845, reveals the role of the institution and used in it the course of cameral sciences in the training of the Russian bureaucracy, as well as considering the financial component of Lyceum’s activity and the number of students. The author notes that during the existence of the cameral lyceum it was ended up by several hundred students, mostly from Yaroslavl province. Most of them were nobles. Studying the teaching staff, author concludes of the high professionalism of them, among who were well-known in Russia Ushinskiy K.D., D.I. Semyonovskiy, G.F. Pokrovskiy. Among the famous students of the Lyceum was Gennadiy Karpov - a member of the Imperial Society of History and Antiquities of Russia (1866), Archaeographic Commission, the Russian Historical Society, one of the founding members (together with T.S. Morozova et al.) of the Society of Ancient Literature. The author concludes that in the middle of the XIX century Lyceum experienced ups and downs, but overall, it is a period of stagnation in the development of the institution. On the one hand this was due to the reduction of the number of students and the lack of adequate teaching staff, on the other hand - the lack of funding and increasing the bureaucracy in the management.
