Professor James Adamson, M.A., LL.B., the latest acquisition to the staff of Victoria College, was born in 1870, and educated at Forfar Academy, Scotland.

His career at the University of Edinburgh was a distinguished one. During his progress through the Arts course he obtained prizes in Latin, Greek, and Mathematics, his connection with the faculty of Arts terminating when he obtained his M.A. These successes, however, were entirely eclipsed by his performances in the Faculty of Law. While there was hardly a law class in which he did not gain a high place in the prize list, in no less than four of the classes he carried off first prize. He acted as assistant to the Professor of Scots Law in 1895-96, obtained his LL.B. with distinction in 1896, and in July of the same year was admitted a member of the Faculty of Advocates.
