University of St Andrews.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS, which is the oldest in Scotland, was founded by Henry Wardlaw, Bishop of St Andrews, A.D. 1411. The Foundation was sanctioned in 1413, by a Papal Bull, granted on the petition of King James I., the Bishop, and the other dignitaries of the Church in the ecclesiastical metropolis, by Pope Benedict XIII., from whom five other Bulls were procured during the same year, confirming the benefactions bestowed by the Founder, and extending the rights and privileges of the University. The Papal Bulls instituted a Studium Generale for instruction in Theology, Canon and Civil Law, Medicine, and the Liberal Arts, with power to confer Degrees on such as the Bishop might, after due examination and advising with the Doctors and Masters of the University, deem to be worthy of them.

Under the royal patronage, the influence of the University rapidly increased, so as ultimately to include three separate Colleges and Corporations:

1. St Salvator's College, founded in 1450 by James Kennedy, Bishop of St Andrews, and confirmed with privileges by Pope Nicholas V. in 1451. In 1458 a revised charter was granted by Bishop Kennedy, with extended privileges, and this new charter was confirmed by Pope Pius II. in the same year. Further, in 1468, Pope Paul II. honoured it with the privilege of conferring Degrees in Theology and the Arts. The College was to consist of a Principal, a Licentiate, and a Bachelor in Theology; four Regents, Masters of Arts, to teach Logic, Physics, Philosophy, and Metaphysics; and six Foundation Scholars.

2. St Leonard's College, founded in 1512, by Alexander Stuart, Archbishop of St Andrews, and John Hepburn, Prior of the Metropolitan Church. It received in the same year the royal confirmation from James IV.; and was to consist of a Principal, four Chaplains, two of whom were to be Regents; twenty Students of Philosophy, and six of Theology.

3. St Mary's College, founded in 1537 on the site of the "Pedagogium"-the original academical building-by Archbishop James Beaton, under the sanction of Pope Paul III., who endowed

it with various privileges, and especially with the privilege of conferring degrees in omnibus licitis facultatibus. It was further endowed by Archbishop John Hamilton, in 1553, and reconstituted by him under a Papal Bull granted by Julius III. By this second charter it was to consist of a Principal, three Masters, five Regents, sixteen Students of Philosophy, and eight of Theology.

Besides the sanction of the Papal See, the University continued to enjoy the royal support, under a long succession of charters. From its national position and privileges, its usefulness steadily increased, while, by the munificence of subsequent benefactors, it became liberally endowed with bursaries and aids for the encouragement of learning.

Soon after the Reformation, the constitution of the University was changed; and in 1579, the Colleges of St Salvator and St Leonard were restricted to the teaching of Philosophy, Law, and Medicine, and the College of St Mary to Theology. Of the former, each was to consist of a Principal and five Masters, and the latter, a Principal and four Masters. The Act of 1579 was partially repealed in 1621. No further change on the constitution appears to have taken place until 1747, when the two Colleges first named were, by Act of Parliament, united, and have since been known as the United College of St Salvator and St Leonard.

On 21st March 1890 the Commissioners appointed under the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889, in virtue of special powers conferred upon them, affiliated the University College of Dundee to, and made it form part of, the University of St Andrews, subject to the following conditions :—

1. The said union shall, as regards duration, be permanent, and dissoluble only by Act of Parliament.

2. The fundamental purposes and conditions of the Deed of Endowment of Dundee College shall be preserved and maintained. These are as follows: For the purposes of founding, establishing, endowing, maintaining, and conducting a College for promoting the education of persons of both sexes, and the study of science, literature, and the fine arts, subject to the following as a fundamental condition, viz.: That no Student, Professor, Teacher, or other officer or person connected with the College, or the operations thereof, shall be required to make any declaration as to his or her religious opinions, or submit to any test of his or her religious opinions, and that nothing shall be introduced in the manner or mode of education or instruction in reference to any religious or theological subject which can be reasonably considered offensive to the conscience.'

3. The funds and estates of Dundee College shall remain under the management and control of the Council of said College, who
