Goodsire, James
Biographical notes:
James Goodsire studied at St Andrews from 1696, graduating with an MA in 1700.
Thomas Taylor matriculated at St Andrews in 1693 and went on to be a regent at St Leonard's College, St Andrews, from at least 1698. He became professor of philosophy and requested the degree of Medical Doctor in 1707, although it is not recorded whether he gained this degree before his death in 1708. He was involved in financial matters in the University, collecting the King's gift, a portion of the rents of the Archbishop of St Andrews given to the university, and travelled to Perth to assess the proposal to move the University to that city. In 1712 his wife offered his books, including an 8 volume set of Galen's Opera and Ovid's Metatmorphoses, to the library to pay off his debts.
