| Description | Summary list of correspondence, lists and vouchers concerning the awarding of honorary degrees and degree payments in Marischal College, 18th - 19th centuries; the papers in this collection were found in bundles in a box of miscellaneous material (MARISCHAL/7/1/2/2). Some of them have clearly been abstracted from other series and their archival provenance is no longer clear. The correspondence is mainly concerned with unsuccessful applications for honorary degrees in the 1820s and 1830s. |
