History of university Aberdee
The first university of Aberdeen, King's College, was founded in February 1495 by William Elphinstone, Bishop of Aberdeen, Chancellor of Scotland, and a graduate of the University of Glasgow writing an application on behalf of King James IV to Pope Alexander VI resulting in a Papal Bull issued. The first director was Hector Boece, graduate and professor of the University of Paris, who worked closely with Elphinstone College to develop. Although the date of foundation, teaching actually does not start for another ten years, and the University of Aberdeen celebrates 500 years of teaching and learning in 2005.
After the Scottish Reformation in 1560, King's College was purged from his Catholic staff but otherwise was largely resistant to change part. George Keith, fifth Earl Marischal was a modernizer within the university and support the reformist ideas of Peter Ramus. In April 1593 he founded a second university in the city, Marischal College. It is also possible that the foundation of another university in nearby Fraserburgh by Sir Alexander Fraser, a rival businessman Keith, was instrumental in its creation. Aberdeen was very unusual at this time to have two universities in a city like university brochures 20th century observed, Aberdeen had the same number that existed in England at the time (of the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge)
