Abstract

AT the present time, when so much is being said and done in connection with technical education, and so many new institutions are being founded, it may interest the readers of NATURE to learn how some old ones have been reorganized to enable them more adequately to meet the requirements of the times. The Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College was founded by an Order of the Queen in Council, dated November 26, 1886, according to a scheme framed by the Commissioners appointed under the provisions of the Educational Endowments (Scotland) Act, 1882, whereby Anderson's College, the Young Chair of Technical Chemistry in connection with Anderson's College, the College of Science and Arts, Allan Glen's Institution, and the Atkinson Institution, were placed under the management of one governing body. A considerable amount of interest is attached to the histories of these institutions, of which a few of the chief dates may be mentioned.
