metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to a statistical analysis of quantitative and qualitative parameters characterizing
  the professoriate of Russian universities in 1755–1884. The material for such a study
  was drawn from the prosopographic database compiled on the basis of biographical data on
  professors and containing more than 1200 names of scientists. The following characteristics
  have been examined: the social composition; the dynamics of the replenishment of the professor
  corps; the distribution of professors by different universities and by branches of science;
  the average age of embarking on the professorial position; the length of the professorial service;
  the role of “junior” university positions and the importance of the period of teaching as
  Privatdozent before becoming a professor; the proportion of those who were graduates of the
  universities where they later taught, etc. These characteristics have been studied in chronological
  dynamics, depending on the main stages of replenishment of the professoriate, which
  coincided with the major university reforms in the 19th century. The similarity between some
  parameters for the entire professorial corps (for example, the average age of receiving professorship)
  and the evolution of parameters in different periods and differences between universities
  has been identified. Some phenomena of university life, known in historiography in a
  number of examples, have received a detailed explanation in the light of statistical analysis. At
  the same time, the study has demonstrated the potential of quantitative methods in revealing
  new properties of Russian university professors that cannot be found only through the analysis
  of narrative sources.
