metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article discusses the practices for election of the head of a university corporation in Russian universities
  at the first half of the 19th century. It is shown that the concept of the “rector position”, transferred
  from European, mostly German, universities, acquired in Russia new features and characteristics.
  It acquired a complex content: a rector should become at the same time a “patriarchal” head of
  the scholars and a senior official in the bureaucratic milieu of the educational department. University
  curators influenced greatly on the election of a rector, which lead to the progressive “bureaucratisation”
  of its position, the rector changing from ‘primus ante pares’ to the chief above the professors. The
  different perception of this position, its functions and powers, by several groups among the professors
  and ministry officials resulted in many inner conflicts. Meanwhile a new portrait of a rector, proper
  to the ‘classical’ university — a rector as a respectable scientist and personification of the university’s
  dignity with regard to the wider society — did not develop in Russia until the late decades of 19th
  century. Refs 31.
