Sažetak

Every milieu, especially school, teachers and fellow pupils leave significant marks in lives of future scientists and cultural workers. That was also the case with two Croatian Nobelists, Leopold Lavoslav Ružička and Vladimir Prelog, who were significantly formed by the Osijek surrounding and comprehensive school. This paper brings basic data on the Osijek surrounding, teachers and fellow pupils of the future Croatian Nobelists Leopold Lavoslav Ružička and Vladimir Prelog and on their lives and schooling in Osijek in the late 19th and the early 20th century. Osijek also takes credit for a significant influence on forming and guiding of our Nobelists, which should be thanked to teachers and fellow pupils. Names of teachers and fellow pupils, which were taken from school registers give some information about the people who taught them, their school fellows, and the circumstances under which the young pupils, the later Nobelists, worked and lived. Ružička and Prelog maintained close relationships with many of their school mates, exchanging reflections on their youth. The paper shows that the milieu, teachers, school and school mates always influence the shaping ol a person and that they also take part in the contribution of our Nobelists to the mankind.
