This chapter studies patronage in an eighteenth-century university by exploring the legal structures that defined the corporations in which patronage was awarded. It reports that, at Glasgow, there were two chartered corporations: the College and the University of Glasgow. It further reports that the university had as its chief officers the chancellor, rector, and dean. It notes that the first to use patronage in Episcopal times was usually the Archbishop of Glasgow, whose powers were those assigned to the chancellor at Bologna. It further notes that under the Presbyterians, in 1692, a chancellor was elected by the rector and the masters who lacked a clear warrant for this election. It notes that it would later be claimed by the Argathelians that the right to appoint a chancellor was vested in the Crown but this argument was not pushed and did not prevail in 1692.
Keywords: patronage, chartered corporations, University of Glasgow, chancellor, Archbishop of Glasgow, Bologna, Presbyterians, Argathelians, Crown
