Abstract
The Medical-Surgical Academy of St. Petersburg was established on December 18, 1798. From the first year of its activity it has occupied a most outstanding position among Russian institutions of higher education. During the 1850’s and 1860’s it was an important center of natural scientific ideas and natural science education. Prominent scholars read lectures there, among whom were Nikolai Nikolaevich Zinin, “The Nestor of Russian Chemists”1, the famous N. I. Pirogov2, and Academician F. F. Brandt3. Its students made use of a rich library, an excellent botanical garden, the huge collections of the zoological museum, and the academy’s mineral collection.
