Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Roll of the Graduates of the University of Glasgow, From 31st December, 1727 to 31st December, 1897: With Short Biographical Notes The present volume is the outcome of two less ambitious schemes. The Munimenta Alme Universitatis Glasguensis, published in 1854 by the Maitland Club under the editorship of Mr. Cosmo Innes, contains, inter alia, chronological Lists of the Laureati or Graduates from the foundation of the University in 1450-51 down to the close of the year 1727, and an alphabetical Index Nominum affords the means of easy reference to any name appearing in these Lists. The subsequent graduations have been recorded, either in special Registers or in the Minute Books, with, on the whole, praiseworthy completeness and accuracy; but as no index of this portion had ever been made, the constantly occurring task of tracing individual graduates was always attended with great labour and much uncertainty. To remedy this state of matters, the compiler commenced a series of Indices to the various Registers, but, after proceeding some considerable way, it occurred to him that the materials which he had collected were worthy to better utilization, and that a General Alphabetical Roll of all the Graduates - showing at a glance the several degrees (if more than one) held by each person - would be more serviceable and satisfactory. This scheme was duly carried out, when a further development suggested itself, namely, that short biographical notes should, where possible, be appended. When that had been accomplished in regard to the large majority of the names, there still remained some the particulars of whose after life could not be ascertained. In reference to these an attempt was made to discover at least their parentage or birthplace. The Matriculation Entries, as throwing light on such points, have, therefore, in many instances been quoted, and in others the nationalities, as appearing in the Graduation Albums, are subjoined.
