Glasgow University Graduates Association (alumni society: 1948-1985: Glasgow, Scotland)

The Glasgow University Graduates Association was formed in January 1948 , at the University of Glasgow , Scotland. The association's objects were to maintain closer contact between the University and its graduates; to acquire, receive and hold money and property as required; to publish, print and distribute a review or magazine; and to hold social functions. Within the first year of its existence, the association arranged visits to the Hunterian Museum and the Hunterian Library, organised a Ball in the University's Bute hall and held a chapel service.

Membership of the association was open to all graduates of the University upon payment of a subscription. The office bearers were the president, vice-president, chairman, honorary secretary, honorary treasurer, and honorary auditor. In the first year of the association the president was the University's Chancellor, Sir John Boyd Orr, and the vice-president was Sir Hector Hetherington, the University Principal. 20 ordinary members were also elected and along with the office bearers formed the general committee. Several sub-committee were also formed including the review committee who were responsible for published the newsletter and later the College Courant , the finance committee, social and other functions committee, and a general purpose committee.
