one of the most celebrated universities of Great Britain, founded at Glasgow in 1451. By acts of Parliament in 1858 and 1889, the university was thoroughly reorganized and now exists on very much the same plan as the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The corporation consists of a chancellor and rector, dean of faculties, principal, professors and students. The chancellor is chosen for life. The rector is chosen by the students every three years. The university maintains departments in the arts, science, medicine and surgery, theology and law. The enrollment is about 2300, including many who receive fellowships and scholarships. The library contains 210,000 volumes, and the university has connected with it a number of important museums and exhibits.
