A Matriculation card from the Faculty of Law for the class of Scots Law for the session 1894-5. Both Canon and Civil Law had been taught at the University since its foundation in 1451,however by the sixteenth Century, instruction in both of these had fallen out of practice. It was during this time that James Dalrymple of Stair came to Glasgow to study for an M.A. (1633-1637) and then became a regent (1641-1647) teaching philosophy.[5] He went on to become Lord President of the Court of Session in 1671, and published his Institutions of the Law of Scotland in 1681, the first systematic exposition of Scots Law.
