Raymond Gordon Brown was the first to hold the Forbes Chair of Architecture taking up the post on 1 Feb 1949. This was a joint post which also saw him as Head of the School of Architecture at Edinburgh College of Art. Selection was made by a Joint Committee which included both the Principals of the two institutions. There were 17 applicants from which 4 were short-listed. The decision to appoint Brown was unanimous. The Chair itself was instituted following an Ordinance of 15 Dec 1947.
Professors of Architecture
- 1948-1950: Raymond Gordon Brown (1912-1962)
- 1953-1968: Sir Robert Hogg Matthew (1906–1975)
So does Matthew retire from the post or go part-time from 1968?
Is the Robert Adam Chair of Architecture that Guy Barrie Oddie (1922-2011) occupies from 1968 a different chair?
C. B. Wilson Chair of Architectural Science from 1968 too.
