Life
The Dictionary of National Biography suggests that Principal Hadow was educated abroad, probably due to the persecution of the Covenanters. It is probable that he was the same James Hadow who published two Latin theses at Utrecht in 1685 and 1686. He was ordained "2nd charge Cupar" in 1692 and on 30 October 1694 was transferred to "1st charge Cupar". In 1697 he married Isabel Tullidelph.
In 1699 he was made Professor of Divinity at St. Mary's College, University of St. Andrews. Between 1707 and 1747 he was Principal of St Mary's College, University of St Andrews. In 1705 he married Margaret Forrester.
The head of the University of St Andrews was the Rector who was elected annually and James was elected Rector on 14 occasions between 1706 and 1747.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Think of the life of the working woman as the decathlon. If you even finish it’s a miracle.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
“But every insight from this realm of thought is felt as initial, and promises a sequel. I do not make it; I arrive there, and behold what was there already. I make! O no! I clap my hands in infantine joy and amazement, before the first opening to me of this august magnificence, old with the love and homage of innumerable ages, young with the life of life, the sunbright Mecca of the desert.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness. He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past them in a kind of dream.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
