University of St Andrews

The University of St Andrews was founded in 1413 and is the oldest university in Scotland. The University is situated in the city of St Andrews[?], on the Eastern coast of Scotalnd.

History

As stated above, the University was founded in 1413 when a charter of incorporation was bestowed upon the Priory of St Andrews Cathedral[?]. The University grew in size quite rapidly; St Salvator's College was established in 1450, St Leonard's in 1511 and St Mary's in 1537. Some of the college buildings in use today date form this period as does St Salvator's Chapel. At this time much of the teaching was of a religious nature and was conducted by clerics associated with the Cathedral.

During the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries the University underwent many changes. The distinctive red gowns which are still in use today were adopted in 1672 and towards the end of the seventeenth century a move to Perth was considered and eventually rejected. In 1747 St. Salvator's and St. Leonard's Colleges were merged to form United College. During the nineteeth century student numbers were very low and the University having to close was a very real possibility. In the 1870s there were fewer than 150 students, perhaps partly in response to this the University was, in 1897, strengthened by the affiliation of University College in Dundee which became a centre of medical and scientific excellence. This affiliation ended in 1967 when Dundee University[?] became an independent institution.

Also, three of the signatories of the 1776 American Declaration of Independence received degrees from St Andrews. It is also claimed that the dollar sign was invented at the University.

Gave thee, angel-god, thy station; Like Him thou hang'st in dreadful pomp of blood And His stained brow did veil like thine to night, And, risen, again departed from our ball, Thus hath He unto death His beauty given: The fall doth pass the rise in worth; But death hath in itself the germ of birth. The falling rain that bears the greenery, For there is nothing lives but something dies, Till skies be fugitives, Are Birth and Death inseparable on earth; Sets in the bleakening waters of my soul: 'Twixt me and yet bright skies, a presaged dole. Even so, O Cross! thine is the victory. Brightness may emanate in Heaven from thee, Which must be lifted, though the reaper groan; But we must bear thee, and must bear alone. Vain were a Simon; of the Antipodes Yet woe to him that from his burden flees! Thou gentleness that dost enmoss and drape Wipe thou the blood from wounds that needs must gape. 'Lo, though suns rise and set, but crosses stay, 'Tis so: yon sky still thinks upon the Day, And once more welling through the air, ah me! Whose pang-ed sobbings throng tumultuously. Oh, this Medusa-pleasure with her stings! I am not thankless for the spell it brings, .
