Do we have permission to duplicate content from the University prospectus? Most (if not all) of the content seems to be direct copy and pastes from the 2005 prospectus. http://www.strath.ac.uk/prospectus/pdf/2005/pg/front.pdf AlistairMcMillan 05:50, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I thought it was originally established as "The Andersonian Institute" rather than the "Andersonian Institution?"GiollaUidir 15:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Tech?"

Is it true that Strathclyde is known as "The Tech" amongst Glaswegians? I'm sure that it's true that students of GU call it such, mostly as a wind-up, but Strathclyde has been a university for a long time now. "Glasgow Tech" referred for a long time to the now CU, as that was its official name (Glasgow Technical College). I'm quite sure that if you asked the average Glaswegian for directions to the "Tech", they'd send you to CU. Glasgow University students are not "your average Glaswegian". (Full disclosure - I went to Strathclyde, but this doesn't change the fact that "the Tech" is used by GU students, not common at all amongst the average Glaswegian).
