| In 1843 the Tsarskoye Selo period of the Lyceum's existence ended. In 1844 the Imperial Alexander Lyceum began its activity in Saint Petersburg. This relocation caused many transformations in all the aspects of the Lyceum life, including teaching. The new Charter of the Lyceum, adopted in 1848, reflected the changes in the content and purpose of the Lyceum education. In the nineteen-fifties new academic disciplines were introduced in the Lyceum and new departments of agriculture and civil architecture were opened to respond the requirements of the time. For example, in the years 1852-1856 unique Professor of the Saint Petersburg University P. L. Chebyshev delivered a course in practical mechanics at the Lyceum. Later these departments were closed, and the Lyceum curriculum increasingly became similar to the course of the Law Faculty of the University located in the capital. Nevertheless, the Lyceum program still remained more extensive and diverse, primarily due to the disciplines of the humanitarian cycle, such as history, history of literature, logic, psychology, Roman antiquities, etc. In the 1880s Law was taught by prominent scholars in various fields of legal science: N. M. Korkunov, N. I. Kareyev, F. F. Martens, N. D. Sergeyevsky, I. V. Vernadsky, A. F. Koni, and many others (often parallel at the Lyceum and the University). Such Lyceum alumni as Professors V. P. Bezobrazov, Ya. K. Grot, Ya. V. Khanykov, and others became teachers both at the Lyceum and the University. |
