The Scotsman published a short historical sketch for the University of Glasgow with reporting by Alison Campsie, "On this day 1451: The University of Glasgow is founded." Campsie notes that Pope Nicholas V issued a papal bull in 1451, following a suggestion of King James II, to allow a university to be added to the city’s cathedral.
The university's archives offer links to a rich array of historical resources that include Prominent Individuals Associated with the University and the records of Predecessor and Affiliated Institutions. You can also find a link to The University of Glasgow Story that offers an impressively rich array of information on the men and women who have contributed to the University's development over the past six centuries. Over 2440 historical images are also available for review.
