Administrative / Biographical History
The Gardiner Chair of Music was founded in 1928 , endowed by the gift of the Glasgow shipowners William Guthrie Gardiner and Sir Frederick Crombie Gardiner . Since 1890 a school of Music had existed in the Glasgow Athenaeum . In 1929 this became the Scottish National Academy of Music . A joint Board of Glasgow University and the School of Music proposed that the Chair and the Principal of the School should be held by one person. This was first started in 1930 with the appointment of William Gillies Whittaker , who held the joint post until 1941 . A full list of the University's professors from 1451 to 2001 can be found at http://www.archives.gla.ac.uk/about/publish/elecpubs.html . The Chair and the Principalship of the Scottish National Academy of Music remained joint appointments until 1952 , however the University's association with the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama , as it is now known, did not cease until 1994 when the Privy Council granted the Academy powers to award its own degrees.
