Excerpt from A History of the University of Glasgow: From Its Foundation in 1451 to 1909 When in the employment Of the University of Glasgow, I was Often tempted to Wish for a History of that institution, to which one could refer in answering enquiries from the outside, or procuring informa tion needed from time to time by administrators or officials.
