Professor of Ecclesiastical History (Glasgow)

The Chair of Ecclesiastical History of the University of Glasgow is the oldest chair of ecclesiastical history in the United Kingdom.

It was founded in 1716 by King George I of Great Britain. The Crown granted 100 pounds per year for this purpose. This was, thus, a Regius Chair until 1935, when constitutional arrangements in the Church of Scotland resulted in patronage being transferred to the University Court acting on a Board of Nomination consisting of representatives of the University Court and the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

gollark: Now, I hackerized your timetable with my 1337 sk1llz, and you have maths - probably not much ability to do work there - physics, during which you may be able to do some depending on whether Dr Houchin does anything, more maths, lunch, which is actually very long for you so you do in fact have a while, and then also maths, then computer science, which is when it's due.
gollark: You can just work on it during lessons.
gollark: Oh, I forgot you're not in school, you'll be fine then.
