The Very Rev. Professor W. P.
PATERSON, D.D., LL.D., F.R.S.E.
The speaker this afternoon is a Scots-man who lives'in Edinburgh. He is now in his 'seventies-a good age for a reminiscent talk by a mentally vigorous man who has led an active and varied life such as he has. He was educated at the Royal High School and University of Edinburgh ; afterwards he studied further at Leipzig, Erlangen, and Berlin. In 1887 he was appointed Parish Minister of Crieff, and later he was made Professor of Divinity at Edinburgh University. From 1916 he was Chaplain-in-Ordinary to the late King in Scotland.
