In 2003 Allan Glen's School Club marked
the 150th anniversary of the founding of the school. This site celebrates
the School and the School Club, whose members are spread across the
globe. It also marks the continuation of Allan Glen's legacy in the
setting up of the Allan Glen's Endowment Scholarship Trust, to assist
pupils from Glasgow schools to study engineering.
Allan Glen’s School developed from a school providing a good
practical education for the sons of tradesmen to being the principal
science school in Scotland and well merited its alternative title of
‘the High School of Science.’
Around the time of the jubilee in 1903 Allan Glen’s was under
the control of the governors of the West of Scotland Technical College
and many of its pupils proceeded there for further study but a significant
number proceeded via scholarships to Cambridge and Imperial College
London.
The majority of pupils attended Allan Glen’s after having gained
a scholarship for the first three years and so the range of pupils extended
across all social classes and many of the former pupils proceeded to
senior posts in business, industry and medicine.
Some copies of the revised history of the
school 1853-2003 are still available. Click on the book for an order

University
hat trick for Glen's men
Lord Macdonald of Tradeston
was recently installed as the Chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian
University.
With Sir Kenneth Calman
appointed Chancellor of Glasgow University last year, two
of Glasgow's three universities now have former Glen's pupils
in their top posts, and in addition to that...
Sir Robert Smith
is Chancellor of the University of the West of Scotland,
formerly Paisley University.
There isn't a collective noun
for University Chancellors - perhaps a "Glen"
would be suitable!
