[485] In reckoning the number of Bursaries, it was proposed that the
University of St. Andrews should consist of three Colleges; and
Glasgow and Aberdeen of two each; thus making 72 for the former, and

[487] The Editor in 1722, remarks, "The ordinary expenses of Glasgow
or Aberdeen extend only to 2722 Pounds and one Merk, so that probably
it was designed that these two Universities should have had each of
them a Professor of Greek, whose salary was to have been 200 Pounds."
