LECTURESHIPS IN DIVINITY.

1. Murray.

There are three Lectureships on the foundation of the Rev. Alexander Murray, D.D. (K.C.), 1784, of Philadelphia, held by the Professors of Systematic Theology, Church History, and Biblical Criticism, by whom Lectures are delivered as part of the Divine Service in the Chapel of the University.

2. Murtle.

A Course of Weekly Lectures on Practical Religion and the Evidences of Religion is maintained in the University by the Trustees of John Gordon of Murtle. The Lectureship is held by the three Theological Professors in turn yearly. The Lectures are delivered in the Systematic Theology Classroom, University Buildings, Old Aberdeen, No fees are payable for attendance on the Class.

Under the original foundation provision was made for Lectures both at King's College and at Marischal College, but the latter had for long been in abeyance. In 1895 they were revived in a different form, a series of six Public Lectures, intended specially for Students of the University, having been delivered by distinguished Preachers, on Sunday afternoons, in the Mitchell Hall, Marischal College. Similar Courses have been delivered in each succeeding Winter Session.
