Universities and Colleges, Administration
Found in 30 Collections and/or Records:
Edinburgh University Register, 1644
The register contains the discipline and rules for the College of Edinburgh. In the back of the volume, written upside down, are notes made by Mackie on European and Scottish family trees, both royal and landed families, history of parts of Europe including more detail on Scottish and English history, with listings of significant events.
It is almost certainly a later copy: this is definitely so if it was written by Mackie.
Excerpts from the Records of the Town Council of Edinburgh, 1703-1808
These are excerpts from town council records, transcribed in 1809, respecting the magistrates rights of patronage of the College and control of the Principal and Professors. Some excerpts seem to be from the 1580s but within excerpts from the 1700s. Part of the discipline of the College of Edinburgh is included.
File Series 'A', 1833-1987
Legal basis of the University, 1644-1893
