The masters, having considered the above proposal, did unanimously approve of the same, being fully sensible that the business of teaching the elements of Latin, in the way of a common grammar school, is become altogether uncreditable for a professor in an university; and, although it might be necessary at the time of the foundation, when perhaps there was not a grammar school in the north of Scotland, yet now it is entirely useless, seeing at the Revolution provision was made by act of parliament for a publick school in every parish in which the elements of Latin is taught...
