Early Kennedy students at Edinburgh University
Copyright © Iain Kennedy February 7th, 2008
I have consulted three rolls of students at Edinburgh University. Edinburgh tended to hold even less information on such students than Glasgow. Furthermore, students often didn't go through a formal matriculation but simply attended lectures that were of interest to them. Or they may have matriculated but not graduated. Graduates in the Arts, Divinity and Law.
