075 | The universities established in Scotland previous to the Reformation were instituted, according to the model of Paris and Bononia, under Papal authority, and confirmed by the King. The chief design, perhaps, of those seminaries was to afford the means of instruction to Ecclesiastics, but their general object, undoubtedly, was to promote the education of youth in the various branches of Science, and thereby to diffuse Knowledge among a rude and barbarous people. The institution of the university and King's College of Aberdeen, which, in the order of time, was the third in Scotland, was originally designed by William Elphinston, Bishop of Aberdeen, who filled the high offices of Chancellor and of Privy Seal of Scotland, successively, under King James IV. and was also distinguished for many act of benevolence, and for the zeal with which he promoted public and noble works within his diocese. At his solicitation, King James requested and obtained from Pope Alexander VI. a bull, dated at Rome February 10th, 1494, for instituting, at the famous City of Old Aberdeen, a university, or general study, as well in theology, the canon and civil law, as in medicine, the liberal Arts. and in every lawful faculty, in the same manner as in the Universities of Paris and Bononia. By the Apostolical authority, ecclesiastics, laics, masters, and doctors, were ordained to instruct those who came to prosecute their studies, from whatsoever places, in the same manner as in the privilaged universities, and the students were to receive their degrees, according to their respective faculties, and their proficiency in their several branches of learning. By the same authority Bishop Elphinston and his successors, prelates of Aberdeen, were appointed Chancellor of the University, and were invested with the power of conferring degrees of baccalaureat, licentiate, Master of Arts, and doctor, in the learned professions. |
