History

• The university was founded in 1796 through the will of John Anderson, professor of natural philosophy at the University of Glasgow, who left the bulk of his estate to create a second university in the city.这所大学于 1796 年依约翰·安德森的遗嘱创办，他是格拉斯哥大学的自然哲学教授，将大部分财产捐出以在城中创办第二所大学。

• Anderson's aim was "useful learning" in practical subjects, described as a place of useful learning for the good of mankind and the improvement of science.安德森的宗旨是实践科目上的「学以致用」，他将其表述为「为了人类的利益与科学的进步而打造一个有用的学习场所」。

• The school opened as the Andersonian Institute in 1796 and was renamed Anderson's University in 1828, partly fulfilling Anderson's vision of a second university.该校 1796 年以安德森学院之名开办，1828 年更名为安德森大学，部分实现了安德森设立第二所大学的构想。

• In 1887, because the title of university lacked legal standing, it was renamed the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College.1887 年，因「大学」头衔缺乏法律依据，学校更名为格拉斯哥与苏格兰西部技术学院。
