The Bute Chair
The Bute Chair was established by John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute in 1898. In 2010 however, the position was renamed The 'James Black Chair of Medicine', in honour of Sir James Whyte Black. Sadly however, two days after the announcement, Sir James died, leading to the University flying its flag at half mast.
Holders of the Bute Chair are known as Bute Professors and include:
- 1901–1914 James Musgrove
- 1914–1946 David Waterston
- 1946–1973 Robert Walmsley
- 1973–1996 David Brynmor Thomas
- 2003–present Robert Hugh MacDougall

Famous quotes containing the word chair:
“Come leave the loathed stage,
And the more loathsome age,
Where pride and impudence in faction knit
Usurp the chair of wit:
Indicting and arraigning every day,
Something they call a play.
Let their fastidious, vain
Commission of the brain,
Run on and rage, sweat, censure, and condemn:
They were not made for thee, less thou for them.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
