deliver lectures and hold seminars on different subjects such as: physics,
mathematics, chemistry, foreign languages and many others.
        For the convenience of the non-St. Petersburg students living and
working far from our University there are several branches of it in differ-
ent cities. There the students also have lectures, classes, consultations and
take their examinations.
        My favourite subject is physics. The lectures on this subject are
delivered by Professor Smirnov. His lectures are always very interesting.
I never miss them.
        The students are taught one of the following foreign languages:
English, French or German. I study English. At our lessons we read, trans-
late and speak English.
        The academic year starts on the first of September and ends on the
first of July. It is divided into two terms. At the end of each term the
students take their tests and examinations.
        At the beginning of the term non-St. Petersburg students get all the
teaching material and different kinds of test-papers in the subjects by mail.
        They do the test-papers in written form and send them to the Uni-
versity for marking.
