BAILLIE'S INSTITUTION
Was founded by Mr. George Baillie, writer in Glasgow, who divested himself in Lis lifetime of his whole
fortune (£18,000), which with its accumulations during twenty-one years from 11th November, 1863, he
appointed to be applied to the erection and endowment of an Institution in Glasgow, to be called "Baillie's
Institution," having for its objects, 1st, To aid the self-culture of the operative classes by means of free public
libraries ; and 2nd, The instruction of their children in unsectarian schools. The former of these, however,
according to his direction, is alone proceeded with, as there is not a sufficiency of funds for both. The Dean,
Council, and Clerk of the Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow were appointed perpetual preceptor, patrons, and
directors of the institution, which was incorporated by royal charter, dated March 18, 1867. A scheme was
afterwards prepared, under the Educational Endowments (Scotland) Act, 1882, for the administration of
the trust, which was submitted to the Scotch Education Department, and was approved of by Her Majesty.
in Council. By it the Governing Body was increased to twelve, who are elected by various public bodies.
A free public library and reading room were opened at 48 Miller Street, on 29th September, 1887. — ■
