Glasgow University Zoological Society was founded in 1926 at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. The society appears to have replaced a previous Zoological Society, taking over it funds and assets. In 1926, the object of the society was to "promote interest in zoology by discussions, papers on zoology, and excursions to places of zoological interest." Office bearers were elected at the annual general meeting and included an honorary president who was usually a professor of the department of Zoology, a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and four ordinary members, two of which were to be first year students. By 1963, the object of the society was still the same but membership was opened up to graduates of the university and staff members. An agricultural representative was also added to the committee and the four ordinary members were replaced by ordinary members from each academic year.
The society was affiliated to Glasgow University Students' Representatives Council from whom it received a part of its funding. It would appear that the society folded around 1986.
