The Universities of Scotland: Past, Present, and Possible is a historical book written by James Lorimer and originally published in 1854. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Scottish university system, including its origins, development, and current state at the time of publication. Lorimer explores the founding of the universities of St. Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh, and delves into their early history, including their struggles and successes. He also provides a detailed account of the state of Scottish higher education in the mid-19th century, including the challenges faced by the universities and the reforms that were being proposed to improve the system.In addition to chronicling the past and present of Scottish universities, Lorimer also offers his own suggestions for the future of higher education in Scotland. He argues for the importance of liberal education and the need for universities to adapt to changing social and economic conditions.Overall, The Universities of Scotland: Past, Present, and Possible is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Scottish education or the evolution of higher education more generally. It provides a fascinating look at the challenges faced by universities in the mid-19th century and offers insights into the ways in which these institutions have adapted and evolved over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
