Cooper Introduction The Rector’s gown at the University of St Andrews is arguably the only surviving rel- ic of true medieval academical dress in Scotland.1 Today, the students of each of the an- cient universities at St Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh elect a Rector every three years to preside over Court, the governing body of the institutions. The University of Dundee also elects a Rector but, unlike at the other universities, there he sits on but does not chair Court.2 The role of Rector was constituted at each of the universities from the time of their respective foundations; the Rector was, and continues to be, a prominent figure both ceremonially and administratively. The Universities (Scotland) Act 1858 standardized the role and university governance in general.3 This paper will briefly treat medieval Recto- rial dress in continental Europe, introduce general aspects of Scottish Rectorial dress, and then detail its development at each of the ancient Scottish universities in order of founda- tion date.

  • WG and the Savile Club
    WG and the Savile Club A Gentlemen's Club is a private (i.e. members-only) establishment typically containing a formal dining room, bar, library, billiards room and one or more rooms for reading, gaming (usually with cards) and socialising. Many clubs also offer guest rooms and fitness amenities. The first such clubs, such as White's (founded in 1693), Boodle's (1762) and Brooks's (1764), were set up and used exclusively by British upper-class men in the West End of London. Today, the area around St James's (a central district in the City of West- minster) is still sometimes called "clubland". The nineteenth century brought an explosion in the popularity of clubs, particularly around the 1880s, when London was home to more than four hundred of them. This expansion can be explained in part by the large extensions of the franchise following the Reform Acts of 1832, 1867 and 1884. In each of those years, many thousands of men were granted voting rights for the first time and it was common for them to feel that, having been elevated to the status of a gentleman, they should belong to a club. The existing clubs, with strict limits on membership numbers and waiting lists of up to sixteen years, were generally wary of such newly enfranchised potential members, prompting some to form clubs of their own. An increasing number of clubs were characterised by their members' shared interest in politics, literature, sport, art, automobiles, travel, geography or some other defining pursuit. In other cases, the connection was service in the same branch of the armed forces, or graduation from the same school or university.
