Excerpt from A History of the University of Glasgow

When in the employment Of the University of Glasgow, I was Often tempted to Wish for a History of that institution, to which one could refer in answering enquiries from the outside, or procuring informa tion needed from time to time by administrators or officials. Besides this interest of a practical nature, I had a keen relish for the story of the University, and I saw that other institutions with no better claims had their Histories, and that the public received them not unkindly. Just before the Paris Exhibition of 1900, I was asked to put together a slight sketch of the University, to accompany some educational exhibits which were to be forwarded. This sketch was translated into French by the late Miss Galloway, but, from some accident or another, it was never sent to the Exhibition. From that time, 'however, I definitely made up my mind to bring out a History of the University.
