In 1826, George IV. Appointed a body of Commissioners of Visitation to the Universities of Scotland, and they made extensive enquiries and collected much information, and had nearly completed a comprehensive report embodying numerous recommendations, when by the death of the king their powers came to an end. They were reappointed 48 The University of Glasgow by the next sovereign, however, and finally completed their report on 28th October 1830. Their labours did not immediately bear fruit, for... it was not till 1858 that Parliament actually passed a measure for regulating and improving the Universities of Scotland. Some of the more important changes were made by the Act itself, and the Commissioners under it sat for fully four years, framing Ordinances regulating matters with which they had been empowered to deal. A further Universities Act was passed in 1889, and the labours of the Commissioners under it extended over a period about twice as long as that occupied by the 1858 Commissioners.
