Abstract
The article reconstructs the social portrait of honorary members and doctors of the Kharkiv Imperial University in 1804–1917 (from its foundation till the Russian Empire collapse). The research is based on rare sources. All honorary members and doctors were analyzed from the social, national, occupational and other perspectives. We verified 255 persons with honorary university titles. In some cases, no important biography features resulted in the incomplete problem reflection. However, it did not prevent us from summarizing obvious trends in the imperial and Ukrainian higher education. In particular, the rate of honorary title conferment differs in various periods: the lowest amount for the 1870s and the 1910s, the highest amount for the university first years and the 1850s. Most honorary members and doctors of the Kharkiv Imperial University came from nobles, clergies and petits bourgeois. Sometimes, peasants were represented as well. Ethnically, most members and doctors were Russians or foreigners. Ukrainians covered under a quarter of them. In general, the honorary staff of the Kharkiv Imperial University reflected main development trends of the imperial higher education.
