MAY'S GYMNASIUM, men's private high school founded by teacher K. I. May (1824-1895) as a classical school in 1856 and reorganised into a gymnasium in 1865. It had a actual department opened in 1868 and transformed into a Real school (which along with general humanitarian subjects had a strong focus on mathematics and physics) in 1895. It received the rights of a state gymnasium in 1882. Widely using visual teaching techniques, excursions, physical and chemical experiments, the gymnasium taught a number of additional subjects for aesthetic, physical, and technical education. Among its pupils were artists A. N. Benois, M. V. Dobuzhinsky, N. K. Roerich, K. A. Somov, and V. A. Serov, architects Y. Y. Benois, A. A. Ol, and I. A. Fomin, and scientists O. D. Khvolson, Y. I.
