metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The patterns of growth of the body of professors and instructors of the University of Dorpat from
  1803 through 1884 are compared to that of the universities of Kazan and St. Petersburg. It is shown
  that Dorpat University (now: Tartu University, Estonia), having once taken a leading position within
  the imperial University system, lagged behind other universities by the mid-1880s. This lag was caused
  by a comparative decrease in growth rates of its faculty. An analysis of legislation and of the growth
  patterns by different categories of the faculty allows one to speculate on two groups of reasons for this
  growth anomaly. First, the ministerial policy seemingly put limitations on the growth of salaried faculty
  at Dorpat. Second, the patterns of growth rates of Privatdocenten suggest that there were considerable
  differences in their status across different universities. While at Kazan and St. Petesrburg, one may
  observe an explosive growth of the numbers of the Privatdocenten after they had been introduced in
  the 1860s, at Dorpat, the Privatdocenten failed not only to outnumber the salaried faculty, but even to
  comprise a more or less considerable fraction of the body of professors and instructors, even though
  they were present from as early as 1805. The reasons for this difference, it seems, are to be sought in
  the peculiarities of local academic cultures. Refs 47.
