William Jack (principal)

He was educated at King's College, Aberdeen, graduating MA in 1785.

He then spent some years at the University of Edinburgh studying medicine, graduating with an MD.

[1] He died on 9 February 1854 and is buried in a niche of the outer eastern enclosure at St Machar's Cathedral in north Aberdeen.

Due to the impending merge his post as Principal was not filled.

Although Jack did not live to see the merge, he was part of the committee set up to combine King's College with Marischal College to create the single entity of the University of Aberdeen in 1860.
