Tomsk University was the first in Siberia. In fact, it initiated higher education in Siberia. In 1888 only one department-of medicine- was opened into which 72 students were admitted. Ten years later the second department — law enrolled the first law students. The department of physics and mathematics and the departments of history, philology and philosophy were opened only in 1917.
