    and title of the University of Aberdeen. The Colleges were: (1) the University and King's College, founded by Bishop Elphinstone, under authority of a Papal Bull obtained at the instance of James IV.; and (2) Marischal College and University of Aberdeen, founded in 1593, by George Keith, Earl Marischal, by a charter ratified by Act of Parliament. Before I860 degrees were grained by both Universities, and therefore the two Univer- sities are cited separately in the Medical Act. The University now possesses the powers, privileges, and properties of the two Universities. The Faculty of Medicine includes the professorships of institutes of medicine, practice of medicine, chemistry, anatomy, surgery, materia medica, midwifery, medical logic and jurisprudence, and botany. The professor of natural history is a member of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Arts (oi'dinance No. 16). There are assistants to the professors of anatomy, chemistry, materia medica, and medical jurisprudence appointed yearly by the re- spective professors, with the approval and control of the University Court. Each of the first two receives a salary of £100, and the third and fourth a salary of £25, voted by Parliament. The Universities of Scotland grant the degrees of Bachelor and Doctor of Medicine and Master in Surgery, M.B., M.D., and C.M.
