The Finances of the University of Glasgow Before 1914

The scant support which the British government gave to English universities in the nineteenth century is well known. As late as 1900, only £25,000 in exchequer funds went to universities and university colleges in England, which were allotted grants ranging from £500 to £1,800 each per year. Although there were significant increases in later years, it was not until the interwar period that large-scale government financing was undertaken. Unfortunately, in this as in other branches of history, there has been a tendency to identify “English” with “British”, thereby obscuring the far greater aid which was given to the four ancient Scottish universities over the same period.
