OCLC 249270367 The Academia Gustaviana in the then-Swedish province of Livonia was the second university founded in the Swedish Empire, following Uppsala University. The first students matriculated between 20 and 21 April 1632. The opening ceremony of Academia Dorpatensis took place on 15 October in the same year. The academy in Tartu offered studies in philosophy, law, theology, and medical faculties sharing the privileges of the University of Uppsala. It closed down in the 18th century, but was reopened as Universität Dorpat by the Baltic Germans in Estonia in April 1802. The language of instruction at Dorpat was German from 1802 to 1893. It was during this era that Karl Marnitz attended the university and submitted this dissertation. During that time, Dorpat had a dual nature in that it belonged both to the set of German(-language) and Russian universities. Financially and administratively, the latter was more important; intellectually and regarding the professoriate and students, the former was more important (over half the professors came from Germany, at least another third were Baltic Germans). The university educated the local Baltic German leadership and professional classes, as well as staff, especially for the administration and health system of the entire Russian Empire. In scholarship, it was an international university. Between 1882 and 1898, with the rise of nationalist tendencies in Russia, russification in language, appointments, etc., was imposed. Today, the institution and its historic facilities operate as the University of Tartu in the city of Tartu in Estonia. It is the national university of Estonia. .
