Veterinary Institute
veterinary institute
also: ветеринарный институт
Imperial Russian institutions training practitioners in livestock and agricultural medicine, entered after only the lower gymnasium classes; the tutor Pobedimsky was expelled from one before completing even half a year, the source of his single stock topic of "clever conversation," epizootic diseases.
Reading notes
- The Privy Councillor §13 the veterinary institute
Imperial Russia's veterinary institutes (e.g. at Kharkov, Dorpat, Kazan) trained practitioners for agricultural and livestock medicine; entry required only the lower gymnasium classes rather than a full classical course, making them a common destination -- and common source of half-finished educations -- for young men like Pobedimsky who could not or would not complete gymnasium.
