Rector of the University of St Andrews
- Rector of the University of St Andrews
The Lord Rector of the University of St Andrews is chosen every three years by the students of the University of St Andrews. Seldom referred to as Lord Rector, he is more commonly known simply as the Rector, the office having been created by the Parliament of the United Kingdom when it passed the Universities (Scotland) Act 1858, which provided for the election of a Rector at all of the universities in existence at the time in Scotland. To this day it is only the four ancient universities of Scotland: University of St Andrews; University of Glasgow; University of Aberdeen; University of Edinburgh; as well as University of Dundee which elect a rector, whereas modern universities do not.
