On the 2nd of August, 1858, the Royal assent was given to an Act of Parliament (21 and 22 Victoria, cap. 83), intituled “an Act to make provision for the better government and discipline of the Universities of Scotland, and improving and regulating the course of study therein; and for the Union of the Two Universities and Colleges of Aberdeen ”. By Ordinance No. 7 of the Commissioners appointed under this Aet, approved by Her Majesty in Council, on 30th June, 1860, the two foundations of the University and King's College of Aberdeen” and “Marischal College and University of Aberdeen” were, from and after the 15th September, 1860, united and incorporated into One University and College, under the style and title of the " UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN ”. The University as thus constituted is a corporate body, consisting of a Chancellor, Rector, Principal, Professors, Registered Graduates and Alumni, and Matriculated Students. Its government is administered by the University Court, the Senatus Academicus, and the General Council. It possesses all the powers, privileges, and property of the two 'Universities and Colleges above-mentioned, and, by virtue of the Universities Act (Sect. I.), it takes rank among the Universities of Scotland as from the date of the foundation of the University of 1494-5. By the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889 (52 and 53 Victoria, cap. 55), which, so far as is consistent with the tenor thereof, is to be read and construed along with the afore-mentioned Act of 1858, important changes were made in the administration of the government of the University, and Commissioners were appointed with extensive powers for the regulation of the arrangements of this as well as the other Scottish Universities. The University Court was much enlarged, and its powers greatly extended. Power was also given to the Commissioners to grant a constitution to the Students' Representative Council; and a new body, the Scottish Universities' Committee of the Privy Council, which stands in a common relation to all the Scottish Universities, was instituted. |
