Although it was intended that the teaching of science in Scottish schools only should be considered in this work, it was found necessary for several reasons to introduce consider- ation of the teaching in Scottish universities also. The pioneers of the teaching of science in Scotland, the men who made it an actual part of Scottish eduction, were teachers in ~ the universities, and an attempt has been made to show the gradual transition from Aristotelian beliefs to the experimental treatment of the subject. In the early days of science, it was taught only in the universities, and it was there that the Scottish boy obtained the education which he would receive now at a secondary school, for the students then were mere boys. In consequence, university teaching at that time has been considered in consider- able detail. As John Stuart Mill stated in his Rectorial address to the University of St.Andrews in 1867:- "But schools of a still higher description have been, even in Scotland, so few and inadequate, that the Universities have had to perform largely the functions which ought to be performed by schools; receiving students at an early age and undertaking not only the work for which the schools should have prepared them, but much of the preparation itself. Every Scottish University is not a University only, but a High School, to supply the deficiency of other schools. ---------- Youths come to the Scottish Universities ignorant and are there taught." As science became a subject of instruction in burgh schools and academies, of which at least one was established as

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

The information was requested in a questionnaire and we have received a large number of responses. These are the responses from school staff who are not teachers or senior management As these submissions are sensitive in nature they have been anonymised wherever requested and the names of teaching staff have been removed, as that may lead to individuals working in schools or local authorities being identified. All those submitting were sent a message to make clear that their submissions would be published unless they stated otherwise.
