History |
Anderson's College succeeded Anderson's University following the passing, in 1877, of the Anderson's College (Glasgow) Act (40 Vic., c.xii), entitled 'An Act for incorporating the Trustees of the Educational Institution in Glasgow founded under the will of Professor John Anderson; for altering the name of that Institution and the powers and duties of the Trustees and Managers thereof; and for other purposes'. Then, in the 1880s, under the Educational Endowments (Scotland) Act 1884, the College was split in two. Its medical school (established in 1800) became a separate and distinct institution, incorporated in 1887, as Anderson's College Medical School (later The Anderson College of Medicine, Glasgow). The rest of the College was amalgamated with the College of Science and Arts, Allan Glen's Institution, the Young Chair of Technical Chemistry and Atkinson's Institution to form the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College (later the Royal College of Science and Technology), also in 1887. |
