Papers of William Smart, 1853-1915, Professor of Political Economy, University of Glasgow, Scotland, 1896-1915

Correspondence 1884.

Professor  William Smart, was born in Barrhead, Renfrewshire, Scotland in  1853 . He received his MA from the  University of Glasgow, Scotland in  1882 . According to matriculation records, he studied moral philosophy and mathematics in  1880-1881 , and in  1881-1882 , he studied natural philosophy. It appears he received his LLD in  1893  and his DPhil in  1896 . He lectured at the University of Glasgow at this time, so it would appear that he obtained his qualifications there. In  1896 , Smart was appointed Adam Smith Professor of Political Economy at the University of Glasgow. He died in  1915 .
