Excerpt from A History of the University of Aberdeen 1495-1895

This History has been written apropos of the four hundredth anniversary of the foundation of a University in Aberdeen. My aim has been to sketch the causes and the effects of the educational transitions through which the University has passed, and the varying conditions of the community to which it has had to minister. Biographical ho details of then fessoriate or the alumni, except in so far as they have affected the teaching function of the University, have been strictly excluded. To Mr. P.J. Anderson, the Librarian of the University, who suggested the work to me, and who has furthered its achievement in every possible manner, my warmest thanks are due.
