This is a past event
Colleagues,
I would like to invite members of the University community to this year’s Incorporated Trades Service. It is a unique opportunity in our calendar to celebrate the relationship we have with this important organisation.
The relationship between the Seven Incorporated Trades of Aberdeen and the University dates back to the 1500s. This relationship was largely established through Rev Dr William Guild who graduated from Marischal College at the age of 22 and went on to become the Parish Minister at the City Kirk of Aberdeen in 1631. Subsequently he became Principal to the University of Aberdeen in 1640.
Our links are just as important today and members of the Seven Incorporated Trades include leaders from the City and influential supporters of the University. Representatives of the Seven Incorporated Trades attend our graduation ceremonies and support the work of the University in many varied ways.
The service on Sunday 13 March to celebrate this relationship will be conducted by Rev Marylee Anderson, Chaplain to the University. We will also welcome Rev Ron Flett, Aberdeen City Centre Chaplain to preach. There will be a reception to follow in Elphinstone Hall, University of Aberdeen.
Those joining the academic procession are requested to assemble in the James Mackay Hall within the King’s College Conference Centre by 10.20am.
Those who wish to process are requested to complete the slip below and return it to Julie Beattie, Events Department, University Office, King’s College, as soon as possible and by Monday 7th March.
Professor Sir Ian Diamond Principal and Vice-Chancellor
