THOMAS MACKENZIE
MORRISON
SON of the late Dr. Thomas Morrison, for many years Rector of
the Glasgow Free Church Training College, Mr. Morrison was educated at Glasgow
Academy and University, where he graduated M.A. At the close of his University
course he studied for a session in Leipzig. Afterwards he taught for three years
in Dollar Institution, and at the end of that time was appointed second master
in Lurgan College. There for six and a half years he had a wide experience of
elementary education in the lower school, while he conducted the highest classes
in French and German. In 1891 he was appointed lecturer in Glasgow Free Church
Training College on History, Political Economy, and Physiography, and during the
eight years which followed, until the death of his father, he was closely
associated with him in the management of the College.
On the departure of Mr. Allison to become Rector of George
Watson's College in Edinburgh in 1904, Mr. Morrison received the appointment of
interim Rector, and after considerable delay caused by the Church crisis, was in
1905 appointed permanent Rector of the United Free Church Training College in
Glasgow.
