The Riga Latvian Society (RLS) is the oldest Latvian organization in the world, where students, graduates and academic staff from oldest universities in the territory of Latvia – the Riga Polytechnicum (RP), from 1896 – the Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI), had worked. The activities of the Society and its members have been diverse and varied, and their results are different, too. The heritage preserved for the future is books compiled and translated by Latvians that are well-known folk historical and cultural values, and new educated, patriotic generations of Latvians. Poor students were supported as much as possible, enabling them to achieve their chosen goals and contribute to Latvia’s economic and national development, culture and education. The 150th anniversary of the RLS, the collaboration of the Society with the RP / RPI students, graduates and academic staff until 1919, has been studied.

The article gives an overview of the activities of rubber, gutta-percha and telegraph factory «Prowodnik» in Riga, founded in 1888. Before the First World War, the factory was one of the four largest rubber factories in the world. During the First World War, in 1915, the factory was evacuated to Moscow, in 1918, it was expropriated. In 1921, the shareholders decided to re-establish «Prowodnik» in its old premises in Riga, but the economic situation had changed. For some years it operated as a woodworking factory (1925–1935), but it never reached the boom it had experienced at the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. At the end of the 1930s the factory was liquidated. The alumni of the Riga Polytechnicum (RP) and Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI) who had given significant input in its achievements have been identified by the authors of this article.

The construction plan of the Ļaudona Two-Year Agriculture School (1923) supposedly is the first project of an educational institution of the graduate of the Riga Polytechnic Institute (1913), architect Indriķis Blankenburgs (1877–1944). It was not a new building, but a reconstruction of the building after a fire, however, we can find some elements that had been used in the new buildings. The building was used for education for more than half-century. The article is devoted to the history of the building, also mentioning other buildings designed by I.

The article is dedicated to the life and creative heritage of the graduate of the Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI; 1900) agronomist Boris Jenken (Борис Карлович Єнкен; 1873–1943). B. Jenken was an organizer, scientist, breeder, educator, historian and bibliographer of agrarian science of the Ukrainian national agriculture. The study was carried out using not well-known and recently distributed documents for use in the archives of the Russian Federation and the Ukraine, as well as monographs and publications in periodicals. The article analyses the life and activity periods of the researcher related to the organization and implementation of national agricultural trials, mainly in the field of breeding and seed growing. The emphasis was placed on B. Jenkens’ scientific and pedagogical work in Ukraine: in Kharkiv (1908–1919; 1925–1926; 1930), Odessa (1924), Maslovka (1927–1929), and Kyiv (1928–1929).

The authors of the article have gathered literary works of poets and writers – former students of Riga Polytechnicum (RP) and Riga Polytechnic institute (RPI), and have characterized them. Several Latvian and foreign literary workers have studied at the institute. Only six of them – Alfrēds Andersons, Jānis Bergs, Rihards Ērglis, Ernests Eferts, Jānis Miķelsons and Arvīds Valdmanis – received diplomas in engineering after graduating from Departments of Engineering, Commerce and Agriculture. A. Valdmanis has written course books and literary works. Latvian poet Jānis Poruks and Russian writer Mihail Prishvin (Михаил Михаилович Пришвин) have also studied at the institute, but just like few others did not become engineers and are known due to their achievements in literature. RPI graduate admiral Teodors Spāde also wrote poems.
