(3) Glasgow Aberdeen University Association. In its present active form this Association of Aberdeen University alumni originated in a gathering at a luncheon in Glasgow on 18th March, 1922, arranged by Sheriff Patrick J. Blair, Mr. A. M. Williams, and Dr. A. W. Russell, a mid-day function on a Saturday being most convenient for the large number of our graduates of both sexes who are engaged in the teaching profession and for all who live at any distance from Glasgow. It should be stated, however, in this first notice of the Association in the Calendar that some forty years ago a dinner of Aberdeen graduates took place in Glasgow, with Professor McKendrick in the Chair. On a somewhat wider basis other dinners and occasions of meeting have been periodically arranged, chiefly under the auspices of the Glasgow Aberdeenshire Association which at one time provided a bursary for the University and still flourishes as a social institution. At successive annual luncheons of the present University Association the University itself has been repeatedly represented by the Principal, who at his most recent visit was accompanied by Lady Adam Smith. The Chair has been occupied in turn by the Principal, Mr. A. M. Williams, Professor Rait, Sheriff Blair, Rev. Dr. James Harvey, and Dr. J. M. Wattie, while Sir Robert Bruce, Sir Robert Horne, Dr. Charles Murray, Rev. Dr. Milligan have been among the guests of honour. Former students and friends of the University resident within easy reach of Glasgow are asked to keep the first Saturday of March always free for this annual gathering, and to send their full addresses and any helpful information as to others to the Acting Secretary.
