"But never forget the white, white rose

That grows best over the water."

Then hats flew up and swords sprang out,

And lusty rang the chorus

"Never," they cried, "while Scots are Scots,

And the broad Frith's before us."

Jacobite Glasses of the 1745 Rising belonging to Mrs. Rees Price.

1. A large and extremely beautiful air-stemmed glass (fig. 5) 7 inches in height. The ogee bowl is engraved with a profile portrait of Prince Charles Edward, surrounded by a wreath of laurel, flanked with a six-petalled Rose and two buds, and the Thistle. On the opposite side are the Star and the word "FIAT." The last is an unusual motto on portrait glasses.

2. A glass (fig. 4), 8 inches high, with a double-knopped air-stem and a straight-sided bowl. On the bowl is engraved the Star and a seven-petalled Rose and two buds. The rose of seven petals is an unusual decoration, and is only known on one other Jacobite glass, which has on it a fullfaced portrait of Prince Charlie, under the motto, "Audentior Ibo." On the foot of this glass is engraved a Thistle, with stem and two leaves.

3. A glass (fig. 7), 63 inches high, with an air stem and a straightsided bowl. On the bowl is engraved the Prince of Wales' feathers, and under these the word "RADIAT." On the opposite side are the royal arms of England and Scotland, quarterly.

4. A glass (fig. 12), 6 inches high, with a rib-twisted stem. The bowl is straight-sided, and is decorated with a six-petalled Rose and two buds, and an Oak leaf.

5. A glass (fig. 6), 6 inches high, with an air-stem and a straightsided bowl. This is engraved with a spray of Forget-me-not and a Star above it. On the opposite side is a natural Rose and one bud.

6. A glass (fig. 9), 6 inches high, with a drawn air-stem. The bowl is inscribed with a Rose and two buds, a Star, an Oak leaf, and the cycle word "FIAT." (One of a pair.)

7. A glass (fig. 8), 6 inches high, with a drawn air-stem. The bowl is similarly decorated to No. 6, except that it has no Star. (One of four.) Glasses Nos. 7 and 8 were the ordinary glasses of the Jacobite Cycle.

8. A glass, 5 inches high, with an opaque twisted stem and a straightsided bowl, on which is enamelled in colours a full-faced bust of Prince Charlie.

9. A glass (fig. 11), 6 inches high, with an air stem and a straightsided bowl, on which is engraved a growing Vine. This may be an informal Jacobite relic.

SOME NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF UNIVERSITY
EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.

BY

ROBERT S. RAIT, M.A., NEW COLLEGE, OXFORD.

(Read at a Meeting of the Society held on 15th December, 1904.)

WHEN, a year ago, your President and Council did me the honour of inviting me to read to you on some subject connected with our national history, I ventured to select a topic which has long interested myself. Ten years ago-I hope you will pardon a personal reminiscence--just after I had taken my degree at the University of Aberdeen, my friend, Mr. P. J. Anderson, no unworthy successor of a long line of famous students of the past who have been connected with the University of Aberdeen, turned my attention to this topic. At that time the University was approaching its quater-centenary in 1895, and being close upon the mature age of twenty-one, I was rash enough to offer the world in general an account of the history of that ancient Foundation. Recent advices from my Alma Mater assure me that her quater-centenary is still approaching, and that, by royal permission, it will occur in 1906. By what miracle the fulfilment of Milton's prophecy has been brought about I do not know, but "Time has run back and brought the age of gold,"

and the newspapers inform us that, by a happy coincidence, the completion.
