APPENDIX THE UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE The University of Strathclyde has its origins in the 'Age of Enlightenment' and the vision of John Anderson, Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Glasgow. John Anderson died in January 1796 and bequeathed the bulk of his property 'to the public for the good of mankind and the improvement of science, in an institution to be denominated "Anderson's University".' The intention of the founder was to provide wider opportunities for people to obtain a liberal and scientific education, and he had particularly in mind the skilled artisans for whom, at that time, no provision was made. The theories of Natural Philosophy were to be taught, but instruction was also to include demonstrations by experiments. Even more remarkable was Anderson's wish that his University should be open to women. He envisaged a University of four Faculties: Arts (which included subjects now classified as sciences), Medicine, Divinity and Law. The Faculties of Divinity and Law were not developed but the other two became integral parts of the University in the 19th century. Although there was little money left after his affairs were wound up, Anderson's trustees acted with vigour and the new university was constituted on 9 June 1796 by a seal of cause of the magistrates of the city of Glasgow. As a result of the limited funds, the trustees decided to call their modest university Anderson's Institution. Thomas Garnett was the Institution's first Professor and his subject, like that of the founder, was Natural Philosophy (or Physics), although this also embraced Chemistry. Garnett left for the Royal Institution in 1799 and was succeeded by George Birkbeck (who was subsequently instrumental in founding the University of London). The following year, 1800, saw the commencement of classes in surgery and anatomy, effectively marking the beginnings of Anderson's Medical School which would become a particularly vigorous part of the Institution. The Institution was clearly well managed and quickly attracted a large public to its lecture programmes. As a result of its success, the Institution's premises in John Street became inadequate and in 1828 it moved to George Street, to a building which had previously housed the old Burgh Grammar School. At the same time, the Institution changed its name to Anderson's University. By 1830 it had chairs in Natural Philosophy, Mathematics and Chemistry. It continued to recruit talented members of staff: the new Professor of Chemistry was Thomas Graham who would later formulate the law of the diffusion of gases which bears his name. The University's Medical School by this time had chairs in Anatomy, Surgery, Materia Medica, Midwifery and the Practice of Medicine. It was building up an impressive reputation and among its alumni was David Livingstone who attended classes during the 1830s. These early years were not, however, without difficulties. Perhaps the most serious crisis to strike the Andersonian was the dispute which culminated in the students of the mechanics class breaking away in 1823 to form the Glasgow Mechanics’ Institution, the first of its kind. If this was a setback, it did help to create a climate of healthy competition and Anderson's University and the Mechanics Institution (later styled the College of Science & Arts) were both able to find eager audiences. Glasgow flourished during the Victorian era, and the rapid industrial and commercial development of this period produced a great demand for education at all levels. A number of important new institutions came into being, including the Normal Seminary (for training teachers) in 1837 and the Athenaeum in 1847 which provided commercial education. Educational trusts were also popular and among these were Allan Glen's School and the Atkinson Institution. Each of these would become part of Strathclyde's story. Lacking a Royal Charter, Anderson's University was obliged to change its name to Anderson's College in 1877. It remained the largest of the many educational institutions in the city, other than the University of Glasgow. It enjoyed a good reputation and it continued to recruit high quality staff. It was also attracting increasing numbers of students. However, the plethora of educational institutions in the city demanded regulation and rationalisation and in 1887, as a result of a Royal Commission, Anderson's College, the College of Science & Arts, Allan Glen's and the Atkinson were amalgamated to form the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College. As its name suggests, the new College was to be dedicated to technical education and this factor, combined with increased specialisation, led to further reorganisations. The Medical School was detached from the Technical College in 1887 and established as an independent institution, Anderson's College of Medicine (this was absorbed by the University of Glasgow's Faculty of Medicine in 1947). In 1899, the Technical College's Department of Agriculture was amalgamated with the Scottish Dairy Institute, Kilmarnock, and established under a separate Board of Governors as the West of Scotland Agricultural College. The Weaving, Dyeing and Printing College, on the other hand, which for thirty-two years had been a separate institution, was absorbed by the Technical College in 1908. The Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College was soon a recognised centre of excellence in technical education with a world-wide reputation, noted for its innovative curriculum and its teaching in such areas as Electrical Engineering, Shipbuilding, Architecture, Physics and Technical Chemistry. Its accommodation was, however, incapable of sustaining its rapidly increasing student population and a major building programme was launched. On its completion in 1910, the new building on George Street was the largest in Europe dedicated to technical education. In recognition of the institution's reputation, the College was authorised to change its name to the Royal Technical College in 1912 and the George Street building still bears the name 'The Royal College'. The Royal Technical College consolidated the reputation of its institutional predecessors and in 1913 a scheme of affiliation with Glasgow University was drawn up. The College was recognised as a University College in 1919 and included on the grant list of the University Grants Committee. In effect, it was a University in all but name. The same mix of engineering and science remained in evidence, but the College became more involved in research. During the Second World War, it trained many servicemen in subjects such as radar and conducted research to aid the war effort. Typically innovative, it opened a Department of Industrial Administration in 1947 which began residential courses in Management Studies. In 1956 the College became the Royal College of Science and Technology (RCST). The 1960s was a period of expansion in the provision of Higher Education in the U K, spearheaded by the recommendations of the influential Robbins report (1963). In fact, prior to the publication of that report, the future university status of the RCST had been assured. Nonetheless, Robbins made an important recommendation which would affect the speed with which the new university would be accepted. This concerned the Scottish College of Commerce, whose antecedents could be traced back to the establishment of the Glasgow Athenaeum in the 1840s. Like the Technical College, this institution had undergone several name changes, and changes of fortune, but after the War it began to expand, not only in the field of commercial education but also in associated activities such as Librarianship and Hotel and Catering. Robbins recommended that there should be greater collaboration between the RCST and neighbouring colleges. The Governors of the Scottish College of Commerce accordingly sought integration with the RCST and in May 1964 the two Colleges amalgamated. The expanded RCST now included Departments in Commerce, Law, Accountancy and other business-related subjects, in addition to its traditional areas of expertise in the sciences and technology. In August 1964 the Royal College of Science and Technology was created the University of Strathclyde by Royal Charter. By 1990, the University had become one of the largest in the U K and had been organised into four Faculties: Arts and Social Studies, Strathclyde Business School, Engineering and Science. Its campus has grown far beyond the confines of the Royal College to support a rapidly expanding student population. Several new academic buildings were constructed in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. To meet the needs of a burgeoning community of overseas students, in particular, a campus village, was created in the 1980s. Following the disappearance of the binary line which separated the universities from other Higher Education institutions, Jordanhill College of Education opened discussions with the University which culminated in merger in 1993. The College, with an illustrious history stretching back to the Normal Seminary(1837) and beyond, became the University’s new Faculty of Education. The University of Strathclyde now has two campuses, the John Anderson city centre campus and, in the west end of the city, the Jordanhill campus The University is the third largest in Scotland. Strathclyde is renowned world-wide for its teaching and research, and it enjoys strong ties with the industrial and commercial community of Glasgow and the West of Scotland.
The Royal College of Science and Technology elevated by Royal Charter to become the UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE. 1993 Jordanhill College of Education merges with the University of Strathclyde, and becomes its Faculty of Education. Armorial Bearings The following Ensigns Armorial were granted by the Lord Lyon King of Arms and matriculated on 7 December 1964: Per pale, Gules and Azure, a saltire Argent cantoned between an antique crown in chief Or and three cinquefoils Ermine in the flanks and base; on a chief Or a wave-packet Sable between two open books proper, fore-edges and binding of the First.
Mace The University mace was presented by the University of Glasgow. The presentation was made by the Principal of Glasgow University, Sir Charles Wilson, at the installation of the University's first Chancellor in April 1965.
University Chairs Note: The following list comprises the titles and holders of Chairs in the institution.
