Abstract
Imperial University (now – I.I.Mechnikov Odessa National University) is reviewed. Alexander A. Verigo was born in Vitebsk region on November 23 (December 5), 1837. He studied in St. Petersburg, first at the commercial college, then – on physics and mathematics department of St. Petersburg University, where he studied chemistry under the supervision of N. Sokolov. He started his scientific career at laboratory of Prof. A. Strecker in Tübingen and Prof. J. Wislicenus in Zurich. In 1865 he was invited to work in Novorossiyski University, where he defended his master’s (in 1866) and doctoral (in 1871) theses and where he worked as a Professor of chemistry until 1896. A fruitful pedagogical and research activity of Professor A. Verigo in organic chemistry is described. Many famous scientists and chemists were his students. An important contribution has been done by Professor A.A. Verigo to the promotion of chemistry and to improvement of Odessa: he is among the first investigated the composition of brine and mud of Kuyalnik Estuary; he grounded water intake of the Dniester for the Odessa water pipeline; developed a scheme of water disposal and irrigation; organized the first in the Russian Empire laboratory for analysis of food products. A.A.Verigo died on March 13, 1905.
