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 at the same time, 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 influential patronage, 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.

University College, Dundee, was founded and endowed in 1880 by the late Miss Baxter of Balgavies and the late Dr John Boyd Baxter, and was opened in 1883.

By Section I. of Ordinance No. 46 of the Commissioners appointed under the Universities (Scotland) Act of 1889, the University College of Dundee was affiliated to and made to form part of the University of St Andrews, subject to conditions contained in an Agreement set forth in Schedule I. of the said Ordinance. This Ordinance received the approval of her Majesty in Council on 15th January 1897. The terms of the Agreement were modified, and further regulations enacted, by Ordinances Nos. 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, and 166 of the Cominissioners.

As an academical body, the University consists of a Chancellor, Rector, Principals, Professors, Registered Graduates and Alumni, and Matriculated Students.

CHANCELLOR.

The Chancellor is elected for life by the General Council of the University, of which he is President. He is the official head of the University. Any change proposed by the University Court must receive his sanction. He is entitled to confer Academical Degrees upon persons found qualified by the Senatus.
